Freaking cool! I really like it especially the stowage in the back.

I finally finished the Airmodel M198 and Italeri M923A1 prime mover that I started over 18 mos ago before I deployed to Iraq.  The howitzer is the resin Airmodel kit.  Yeah, I know, I started it, then Trumpeter came out w/the Plastic version.  You're welcome.  The truck is the Italeri M923A1 with Cam Design wheels and lots of scratch building with sheet plastic and wire to bring it up to par.  I plumbed the howitzer with air and brake lines from solder as well.  The gear in the truck is a mix of stuff from various suppliers.  It represents a USMC truck and howitzer from early in OIF in Iraq.  Here are the pics.





More completed and in-progress pics of each can be seen at the below links.
