I'd seen these in ref books etc. but never saw one in 1/87 scale so here is my finished attempt. Rick H.View attachment 321978View attachment 321979View attachment 321980View attachment 321981

Hi Rick,
this lot with a dodgy sounding name do them V3000

This looks like V3000 :thumb2: - scratch built or conversion?

Jerrycan could do with some handles cutting in

Hi Simon,
I cut the top off along with the windshield and constructed a new split windshield and a folded soft top from brass wire and tissue paper.
The rest is just added detail and weathering. The vehicle to the left in bottom pic is what I started with.
Cheers, Rick H.View attachment 322074

Looking good Rick.
That site Simon liked, look as if there were some great choices.

Thanks John, I have purchased vehicles from that web store in the past. Kind of spendy so I only got stuff that I couldn't find elsewhere.
Cheers, Rick H.

Very nice Rick. I particularly like the dust work on the canopy. Well done mate:thumb2:

Thank you Steve, a bit of dry pigment does wonders. Simon, I shall take your suggestion to heart about the jerry can handles on the next one I do.
Cheers Rick H.
