Terific Dave.
Particularly the painting on the side of the truck.
Done by hand?
Tony

Of course it was done by hand.
What I meant was did you hand paint it or make a decal.

Hi Tony, I made decals for it using photos of the actual truck.

Looks really good Dave.
Is there an article or an Od Display in the future? :-)

Awesome. I want one now!! Besides the AFV kit with the quad .50s is there a kit more like the armored box bristling with guns?

Hobby fan makes a couple of resin kits that are for the AFV Club kits. They are pricey and I think that you could make your own with plastic stock or even card stock. The weapons that I use are from the spares box.

Another great looking Gun Truck you have Dave. I love the art work and the figures has it stand out. I’ve sorta started a second Gun Truck, I was able to score both Italeri’s M-923 and M-925 for $10 each. I need to talk to you before I start up again, so expect a call soon.
