    New toy for the fleet

    Simple. This is not a farby site. It is not a reenactor's site. It is not a "be historically correct in all your terminology or you'll be banished" site. It is a site for military vehicles of all types, mostly trucks. Most are truck guys first. Few here give a rats a** if they use slang from...

    New toy for the fleet

    Very nice looking truck. Congrats. "Jimmy"= any truck produced by GMC = its a nickname = no one ever said it was a wartime used term = get over it.

    ...Track on a trailer...

    As stated, its a British FV432. Which BTW is over width by just 2 inches at the tracks. Might want to be careful where you go as some bug-eyed trooper could really give you grief.

    had anyone built a hmmwv/hummer?

    Dc3 is right. It will end up costing the same and will never be the real thing. You will forever be explaining its not a real one and that gets old. I would rather have a totally beat up piece of s*** real anything than a perfect kit.

    28-37 MHz range, anything?

    Is there anything to listen to in the 28-37MHz range? I'm not a radio guy but have one working in that range.

    Mid Ohio Military Vehicle Show July 23rd & 24th 2010

    Wow, that machine truck is awesome. He could earn a small fortune taking it to ATV races. Those guys are always tearing up something that needs turned.

    universal camouflage

    There is no such thing as a universal camo. You just end up with something that doesn't work most of the time; universal waste of effort. The German patterns were very terrain-specific.

    Are Wiesels being released now?

    VEBEG is a private firm licensed to do disposal. One of very few. I doubt you will ever see armor go this route, however. Wiesels are still very much in use and will be for a long time. There are not so many that they would reduce numbers especially when they are deployed to Afghanistan.

    Are Wiesels being released now?

    Yes, first of all you have to be a registered German company.

    Are Wiesels being released now?

    I doubt very much it would be cheaper to maintain than a CVRT. I've had 11 CVRT's and and AUDI. No comparison. Even with shipping, CVRT parts are pretty cheap.

    Are Wiesels being released now?

    Those test models are on loan and will not ever be released but shipped back to Germany.

    Importing a BMP-1

    Approved ATF Form 6, and JAGRO Import brokerage in Baltimore is all you need. You do not anyone else. And some crossed fingers as buying anything from Boys is a risky proposition.

    New V-100

    Always remember Rory, 90% of a project's effort is the last 10% of the built. Always been true, always will be. After owning 18 british armored vehicles, I have always appreciated the amazing simplicity of the V-100. Its what Americans do best: Tough simple vehicles. The Russians learned it...

    ACU camo?

    Crye Precision does not license MultiCam, they require you buy all the materials in MultiCam from them. Besides, no one is going to care about a one off truck. If you were cranking them out for profit it might be different.
