Hello i just bought a mazda pickup 1/32nd scale on ebay.( monogram snaptite)
i thought about building this car as a somalian technical . you know those 4x4 with zsu on the rear. does anybody have some pics about this kind of vehicle ?
if it's possible i will try to make some private molding . if any interest let me know
thanks and Happy new year to all.

What a lucky guy you are ! I would die (well... almost die ) for one of those cute little trucks. But I am not jealous : here are 2 little pics I have found :

and last but not least you will find about 30 pics if you go to www.corbis.com and search for "somalia technicals"

Bat 21, The simplest way to get your Technical (I hate that term, it makes them sound smart) is to aquire the old DML Chinese Volunteer Dshk AA Team #6809, use the heavy machine gun and its tripod. Trumpeter, Skybow, Czech Master and Verlinden have or do sell recoiless rifles. I think the Trumpeter one is least expensive and represents 106mm Soviet style.

My local shop has the old 1/32 scale snap-tite Ford pickup truck and Chevy stepside pickup truck. I did consider the Chevy for a "Technical", but had too many group builds to worry about.
