Hi Andy
Now there's an interesting vehicle. I do like these fast armoured cars. Being Tamiya it should go together ok. Is it an older Tamiya kit? Also what is that big sheet of boxes???

Hi Jim,nice to see you Sir :thumb2:
It`s a fairly recent kit ,2000`s..... the sheet of boxes came with it,and are for Cago/ammo boxes:thumb2:
I also love fast armoured cars.... and THIS, apparently, was one of the fastest!
I`ve seen some videos of them in training grounds action and they appear to have been AWESOME..... i wouldn`t have liked to be on the inside mind!!:dizzy:

You can sit by Me and Mick if you promise to behave and put your lighter away

Thank you my friend, no lighters or any Lucifer's on me at the moment. Think the treatment has worked!

That’s good news John but your treatments never last very long but this time seems to be sticking.

Didn’t you build a fair number of Vietnam vehicles earlier? You can make this one fit that theme, if you want

Is it an older Tamiya kit?

I wouldn’t consider it an older Tamiya kit, but I guess a lot of people nowadays do IIRC it came out about 20–25 years ago, when Tamiya and Italeri both brought out an M8 armored car at almost the same time, but they’re completely different kits.

Also what is that big sheet of boxes???

American field rations.
