Oshkosh M-ATV: New Flanders Army

[Spey_Phantom]

here's something completly different for a change 
its not a kit, but a repainted matchbox toy 

in an alternate universe, the country of New Flanders aquired a first batch of 80 Oshkosh M-ATV armoured Vehicles to replace the older Hummers in service. in total the Army is expected to aquire up to 260 of these MRAP's (Mine Resistant Armour Protected) for various tasks, including peace keeping, infantry transport, SpecOps missions,....


the matchox toy looks quite detailed (and its cheap, around 2 euro's) and with a new paintjob can look quite nice 

here's how it looked when i bought it:




and here's how it looks after being repainted (might have to retouch the spare tire)

Nice job! What sort of size/scale is it? You need to make up a little machine gun to stick in that gunshield on top.

dont exactly know the scale, but it looks to be more close to 1/100 scale.

Nice one Nils ! Used to love doing that to militarize toy cars as a kid. The little license plate is a nice touch as well.
