Another cool take on these trucks. Funny as i was toying with the idea of a tank on the back of my Fire Truck build, but then decided to make it a Fire Support Truck, so it didn't need a tank on the back due to minimal materials.

That looks really good. I reckon the same thing on the GAZ trucks would look great aswell.

I knew it wouldn't be long before Young Fyn was turnin' out trucks. @) :haha: 8)

Most impressive, and giving me ideas already. 8)

I've been thinking about something similar but most tank trucks I've been able to find are 10 wheelers. I did find a trailer I want to try that would look great behind your truck, Frank

And if I ever get ambitious enough I might try one of these, but I really want to wait til the 6x6 comes out to see what we have to work with

What I really need to do is put these things down and get that Hetzer finished!! Too many projects, not enough paid vacation time! :lolno:

And why the heck does the auto correct on this site never fail to wipe out any capitol letter I type in? You would think that it would know I had to push an extra key to do that so it stands to reason I did it on purpose and wanted it that way! DOH!!

It’s ok...as long as you roll the plasticard to anneal it to make it easier to curl
