Gun Truck Wild Thing done

[animal]

Here is the gun truck Wild Thing of the 815th Engineers. Hope you like it. The Graphics are not as nice as I hoped they would be. But they will have to do for this build.

















These photos are of the real truck.







This one is of the original truck in Nam.

If it wasn't for the model sitting on the clothe, had it been on dirt or pavement instead, it would look identical to the 1:1 gun truck in the street with real people....It looks so real!!
You'r Wild Boar on the side looks identical to the real one. . Yes sir, I tip my hat and salute you with a beer! Thats another super job you've done here....Only thing I see you missed are the yellow tow U-shaped hooks/eye's on the front of yours on the front bumper ha,ha...Not being a rivet counter, I just saw it as I was looking again that the model & the 1:1....
Thanks for sharing, I've added this one too into my file I have on your models....The pictures don't always last very long on this forum site, I don't want to loose them...
Thanks again..... "RC"

Thanks RC. I built this one for the museum. The 1/1 truck will be on display along with three other Nam era gun trucks next month at Ft. Eustis Museum of Transportation from the 13 to the 17 of June during are Gathering of Nam Vets. We will also have some goodies from the OIF also to display. We have a great time and the public is welcome to visit the Museum and talk to a bunch of old truckers from Nam. We are walking historical relics. LOL...
