Thanks gents, but I just couldn't handle the weapons so far away from crew. I had another HEMTT in the stash so carved up its' cab & semi-scratched an M66 mount to swap out the existing cab. First you have to put a hole in the glazing & then a cleaner one to match in the roof.

Then add a ring on the roof for the weather seal.

Then add the mount & swap cabs. Have to decal & touch-up the new cab yet.

Thought I should finish up the M977 I stole the cab from. Almost done.

Here I go again. No matter how many of these buggers I build I always put the crane boom on backwards at first. That it is fully articulated at this scale is pretty cool.

Crane corrected. All done. You can plainly see the wheelbase difference here. C&Cs encouraged. PaulE

Paul,
Really nice job on both models. We 87 scalers must often create what is not commercially available and I applaud your efforts!:thumb2:

Two very nicely done vehicles Paul. Great work on the crane. Are they going into a dio or staying as is?

Thank you gentlemen.
Haven't made a decision yet due to no more appropriate figs. Steve. I'll decide once they are acquired.
