Thanks Chris ! I made a few major mistakes but I can hide those with paint and stowage etc.

Great concept! Great execution 

[Captain Canada]

Thank you Sir ! I was thinking I'll just go with single guns, as it's rather a light vehicle. And that will be easier to do as well

Interesting build. You're working quickly!
I hope you have strenghtened the suspensions and fit a gearbox shorter ratios. 

[Captain Canada]

Thanks ! Ya I have dug out a few bits to make the suspension 'look' beefier. I might still break the axles off and give it more ground clearance.

Looking forward to seeing the end result!

Driver's going to get an ear ache in that first pic 

[Captain Canada]

Too right !

Wheels, wheels, you gotta have wheels....



But when they are on it just doesn't look military enough



So I talked to the boys in the R&D dept. and they came up with this : Using the cars original suspension, they would make a chain driven 4 wheel drive system that would also increase ground clearance by about a foot.

Sitting up a bit more eh ?





And here's how she looks this morning.



Still lots to do and sort : Guns, how the fenders mount ( if kit or if scratch or if any ) etc etc
