Good looking beast to add to your modern fleet!

All you need is a hummer and operation gulf war can start

Paul, that's really sweet, like yourself I am a huge fan of modern armour, I'm green with envy.

That's really cool! I remember in basic training one of those blew it's engine coming up a hill we had just marched up.

Lovely upgraded you did to it. I have been keeping track of it since his build and subsequent offer for sale on eBay. IBU sound and proper eletronics would make this a jewel in your collection.

Regarding the camo, I am certain they copy it from this:

And this is the caption:

The exact description of this camo:

I actually have the version that has the exact camo and even the decal (with the large triangle pointed upwards) and the vehicle (Hellraiser) on the turret front as the squadron book. Yours seems to have the exact same camo, but different markings on the side and also specific unit numbers on the front lower hull.

Paul,

Believe it or not the original sprockets, wheels and idlers all work with the Heng Long Pz III tracks. When I did mine I transplanted the road wheels over to the Pz III chassis and swing arms, epoxy the sprockets to the Heng Long drive shaft, and took the whole back-end including the idler mounts and the idler. Too bad the build guy didn't keep them around otherwise they would work just fine. Here is a picture of all of them on the Pz III lower:

Good luck with the upgrade....... Looking forward to it, and have to check out AFC and see what they have also.

Good morning, Paul,
It is a Beauty, no Doubt! As for sprockets and wheels, I just ran a search and there are tons of the 1/18 Bradley static vehicles on Ebay. One was only at 15.50 US. Prices ran all the range but I know you could find one cheap.
regards and following along,

Painless, I think most of the ones on eBay are the Unimax ones so I am not too sure if the wheels are the same as the Century 21, but it is definitely worth a try. This place also ship new ones for quite a reasonable price as well although it is showing out of stock right now. I got one from them before deciding on not using it as a base and eBayed a C21 one. Now the C21 ones are an arm and a leg.

The C21 one is bigger and much more robust with a metal upper, all open hatches.

You're up bloody early!

Pin wash looks good, takes away the sharpness of the camo. Like it.

[Bogeyman]

Looks fantastic Paul, love it.
