Could it be the control box and mount for DUKE jammer?

I have no clue but I find it interesting how well the desert camo works in the winter setting.

Still waiting for a modeling company to do this vehicle in 1/35th scale. U.S, Army used these in Iraq and elsewhere. Time to do this kit!!!

At least you can buy MR Modell resin conversion set, just to be sure another manufacturer will release a plastic kit for it

I wouldn't bet on it. I have built 2 of the MR M1064A3 conversions and have another on the shelf...still no plastic kit of one.

Thanks Gino!! I will wait for the kit--I may have to wait years but I have to consider my own modeling skills too. I have seen Gino's work on this website. Well done!
