While I was stationed in Taji Iraq (Camp Cooke for US Army), I saw plenty of gun truck conversions. I was most impressed by an LVS that had a 40 foot container attached to it with its side cut out but roof still in place. There we machine guns all along both sides and the rear covering everything from M249 Saws to .50.
Like this one ...?
Or that one ?

Frenchy,
I can't see the bottom picture, I'm at work at the moment but the one I saw is the upper picture. It had different weapon combinations at times. This picture seems to be from TAJI as well and it looks like it's in the Convoy Staging Area.

I just picked up the 1/35 Hemtt kit and I'm hoping to build it into a gun truck. Are there any aftermarket sets that can help me with this? TIA
Mike
