Feeling the need for more anti-air coverage that can keep up with the ground forces, especially armored units, the US Army field tested the Phalanx AA system on a Bradley chassis.  Test results show the vehicle was extremely top heavy on rough terrain, but effective when on flat surfaces.





Model: Dragon 1/144 scale M2/M3 Bradley
            Phalanx gun system 3D printed from Shapeways, also 1/144 scale

I like it, well done! (esp. at that scale, 1/144 vehicles are tiny).

What's next? All the trucks that would be needed to keep this beast supplied with ammunition?  :wacko:

whew nice job, and it certainly show how tall the Phalanx system is.

take off and nuke the site form orbit, nope, time for the real thing, CAM and gridfire, call special circumstances.

LOL, that's weird, but also very cool.  :thumbsup:

At first sight I thought it could be a yet unknown Dalek variant...?  :dalek:

Now if that had been placed on the Chaparral chassis or an MLRS chassis it would make sense

Absolutely, well done  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Paint the bit on the top (I assume it's radar underneath it) blue and it'll look like Marge Simpson.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.
