A really nice selection there.I like the base for the M40, and I don't think I'd ever seen an Ontos before your build!  Yes

Mike, I told you before that I loved that Ontos and my mind certainly hasn't changed. Great build. Who makes the M667? I've never seen that one before.

Merry Christmas!

  Having had the pleasure of being able to see all of these great builds in the 'steel' it would be difficult to say which one is the best. I do know my favorite though, the Gamma Goat. Just brings back a lot of memories, both good and bad

  Mike heres wishing you and your family a happy and safe holidays Toast

LOL you know Mike I think I now have a sorta respectable Arty stash 3 Pak36's 2 Pak40's M102 SU-122(M30) field howitzer and a M2A1 field Howitzer. Now looking at your stuff makes me want to start my SU-122 field Howitzer but I think I need to get ahold of more ammo for it.
