Iraqi Truck

Seems to be the season for oddball wheeled vehicles. My turn.  Here is a testament to "Toyota Tough" trucks. This is the MENG kit in 1/35 scale. Its so detailed you can build it as a straight up Toyota.

I have seen so many of these used in the Middle East by all sides. Mostly with some sort of field attached armament. 



I had been playing around with this for almost 2 years until I finally decided what I wanted to do with it. I already had Iranian and Iraqi flags and some leftover STAR decals from my 6 Day War items. 


 It was fun to beat it up just a bit.
I came close to doing a strafed truck, by riddling it with bullet holes, but decided to keep it functional.

OK, this is unexpected. :-)
Looks great.
You're already prepared for next year's HAMS show.
Can't wait to see it in person.

Nice Truck Vince! I saw lots of vehicles like this when I was there. Brings back some memories.
