How about a PLS?


More photos are located here: M1070 Super HET, as well as some up close shots of a tow bar.

I likie big trucks!! #:-) I will have to build one of these some day. Thanks for the motor pool Rob..

HETT,
In the 31st CBT SPT. we used a M984 w/ a frame and chains. Camp Shelby MS. 1998. but Im just a Veh. Recovery SGT. on the job. Not the boss. LOL Todd

Such big trucks make my heart race. I get the same feeling in my job when I stand in front of a B747 being pushed back. Big machinery just gives us that tingly feeling, doesn't it ?
That's probably why movies like Aliens2 and the Star Wars series are so succesful...
I'd love to see a real PLS and HET !

Hey Rob,

Great shots. Big Dawgs Rule!

Howdy Rob,

As usual my friend, your motor pool photos are 'hands down' favourites around here!! In fact, some of the 'newbies' here don't really realize precisely how much work you've done providing photos of vehicles you wouldn't normally find anywhere else! There was a time gents when the good Major 'G' would reach out and provide us with pics on demand!...Yeah, I'm not fibbing.
Anyway, many thx for the photos Rob, because I for one, can really use them since I'm upgrading my standard 10-Ton HEMTT to a 16.5-Ton version and needed the outer wheel 'disc' detail so I could replicate it in styrene accurately.

Hey......I don't suppose you've got the time to snap a few more of the undercarriage and the interior do you?..........nah, fagedabowdit !! :-)

Well Tread, now THAT is something I'd really like to see pictures of when you're done - or even as you go along.... ! Interesting challenge.

Well Jan the plan is to at least properly represent the upgrade to 16.5 Tonnes. From most references I can gather, the major difference (as in most, let's say, cement trucks in civilian life) is the addition of a third set of rear wheels at the extreme rear of the extended frame rails. Although I am sure there are more involved differences from OshKosh's point of view, from a modeling standpoint most can be represented fairly easy.

Oh, another major visual difference is the changeover to Super HET style wheels/tyres as well. :-)
