Just finished painting my cross RC 1:11th scale lmtv to match the big truck. They list it as 1:12 scale fc6 model but it's actually 1:11 scale after I measured things and found out.

It's a beast, 26" long, 20 lbs!
In the future I might buy another kit chop it down a bit and turn it into an m1078

Ok, so that is officially the cool thing of the week for me! I had to go look them up, and that’s awesome. they have models for the deuce, mtvr, and hemtt. Again that looks awesome, never knew. @TomTime, they are remote controlled also which definitely makes it, as you would say over the top.

It is an RC truck! Comes with the motor, assembled transmission, assembled axles, lights and light board. Your supply your own radio, receiver, servos, and battery. Sounds board optional. Frame and suspension is steel!

Oh and did I mention cross RC is based in Oshkosh a lot of the people designing these models worked for Oshkosh and other military truck companies. And a Samsung gear 360 camera fits perfectly where the driver seat would be, if you drill a 1/4 inch hole in the floor and screw it in

Again that thing is awesome, great job on building it!! The 3 color camo came out great with crisp lines, did you airbrush it or how did you apply the paint? I love the detail in the suspension components and over all detail in everything. I wonder if i could add an extension on the back and find a matched scale crane and fabricate it to resemble my 1084.

Yeah the kit is very well done and yes I airbrushed the paint which came out better than the paint on my real truck! I wish I could find even thevsmall material handling crane that fits into the bed pockets for my real truck but I can't seem to find them anywhere I don't even know who makes them!Again that thing is awesome, great job on building it!!

The frame rails are steel so they could be extended.

Lol I understand that on the paint, its not a real mil truck without paintbrush strokes all in the paint. On the crane topic alot of members are buying a Davit crane and adapting it to there trucks. Here’s one on amazon just quickly looking Limited-time deal: RUGCEL WINCH 2200lb Folding Truck-Mounted Crane, Painted Steel Pickup Truck Jib Cranes for 12V/24V Electric/Hand Operated Winch https://a.co/d/cRxMlx5. And if the frame on the model is metal I definitely could modify it a little, just have to find a good model crane to fit.

I couldn't help but add the Master Lock 770 latches that I have on the real truck. Anybody thinking about making one of these kids I printed a bunch of extra little Master Lock brackets which I will sell on eBay.
I also designed and printed from carbon fiber infused PETG, a nice holder you can mount any surface that will securely hold the master lock while you're driving the truck. These might be available soon on RVGlobeTrekker.com, once I make the necessary arrangements with them.
