                        This is an Esci kit,superdetailed and with a full interior.Note the Playboy photo to the left of the door and the map on the engine firewall.Also the finer details like the handles on the roof,like a bus!

                        dang the interior is cool.
                        my M3A2 Brad didn't come with any interior except for the buttons here and there, so I closed it up.
                        what are the guys doing?

                        Figures are from Esci old series.I just carefully paint them and make some shadows with oils.
                        If you look closely to the "Rambo style" guy at first pic,you'll see that he has a Tiger stripe camo!!!Big Smile [:D]

                        Brought back memories for me,too. I was US Army infantry, 1986-1991,Fort Benning, GA, and I drove one of those things. (It was fun!) Here's some unasked-for advice: the rear ramp on my M113 APC ("track" we called it) was always filthy with footprints.

                        Thanks, I started out modeling 1/72 but needed more room so switched to the smaller scale which doesn't nearly afford the amount of detail like you have going there. Great job.
