No problem Hisham.
It's not a build or anything.
Actually learning a lot here.
One more question.Did any make it to Iraq or Afaganistan and where would they have been deployed?

Tom

AFAIK these pics have been taken in Afghanistan (2001-2002 ?) :







Talking about variants, here's the Medical Special Operations Vehicle (MEDSOV) :

Henri-Pierre,

Thank you very much.

Tom

Thanks frenchy for pics.

I've just found this one:

Looks like I was wrong with the helmet/in use dates! They look like Gallet TC2000 shells (fore runner to the ACH, but similar in cut in 1/35 to be indestinguishable).

Pick the guy who worked on a helmet project for three years!

Just one remark about the Afghanistan pics : the pictured RSOV's are apparently fitted with tires that are not AFAIK available for the Defenders series in 1/35th scale The pattern reminds me of the one found on the GoodYear MR/T...(Live Resin has released them for the Humvee)

H.P.

Hi, these tyres are available from DEfmodel, they also do the earlier Michelin XCL's.I have the earlier set and they are superb. Hope this helps.

Regards Jason

In fact I meant MT/R. To me the DEF set tires are different (but they're OK for the MEDSOV...)

H.P.

DEF model RSOV wheels

Same model than the one in the kit


And this one


I wonder if at least one of the two was used in Afghanistan.
I hope DEF model will release the MT/R type.

Here's what I have so far guys.
Way too late to change the seats.Took the headrests off and repainted kaki. All is OOTB.Ammo box decals are Tamiya as none are supplied.The steering wheel I left off until I get a driver in place.I'll add stowage later.A lot of touchups to do.
Not great photos.

Tom
