·         Replaced kit Vulcan turret with Italeri M163 Vulcan turret with scratchbuilt radar mount

·         Added antennas

·         Modified “Gundam sensor” arm  to a winch by replacing sensor with chains

·         Added headlights with PE guards

·         Fully scratchbuilt interior

·         Quasi digital camo inspired by the Berlin brigade

·         Marine Corps markings

Nice! SLW 45 is right, that's a vicious looking brute right there.

My only thought is that the camo works too well, in that it obscures the details of the model - the close up pictures very much help w/ that.

Otherwise, it's pretty cool. I like all the mods, especially the chains on the right side. I never liked that phallic sensor thingy that you replaced w/ them.

Very nice work Al, I love all the mods you've done on this one. As mentioned above, the camo work is very effective and really breaks up the lines of this beast.

Very cool. Yes Smile

nice looking hover truck, the "digital" camo looks really good, and i really enjoy the addition of the quad 50 cal. AA gun in the rear.  She looks like she could use a bit of weathering IMO, i think that would top this build off nicely. Smile i have this kit in my stash along with the kit that has the zaku head, i bought them up to make a diorama out of them, but as said before are still residing in my stash Stick out tongue

keep up the good work!

Nicely done both the mods and painting, that camo works well in breaking up the shape.

I've spent the last 2 hours looking for this kit (not the first time I've searched for it) finally found one in Hawaii, all the rest where in Japan, Europe or Korea wanting $20 more plus shipping.

If all goes well it should be here sometime next week.
