I think I was able to post a pic of the camouflaged guntruck named " Talisman" a few years back; for comparison here is a new guntruck in current service with the Philippine Marine Corps Ready Force:




the real thing is a standard M35 with a gun tub taken from a 65 footer PCF and is camouflaged in a Berlin Brigade inspired camouflage pattern; the model is an AFV Club M35 with the gun tub taken from the Tamiya PBR, with the tub body being scratchbuilt...




an in progress shot...

you can see this guntruck along with other softskins at this link:

for comparison, this is Talisman, a Corps guntruck used in the mid 90s which spawned a new breed of similar gun trucks in service in the Corps today:



again, an AFV club M35 with styrene and Tech Star treadplate as add ons...decals were custom made by a friend

hope you like these...

Very nice examples. I have seen the second one from some photos that I have. The first one is unusual and I like the set up. Thanks for sharing.
