This is what i came up with...The roof decal and side cannon came from an old airplane model kit. Gas cans and other bits were already there. I need alot more practice, its passable to play with on the table, but i had such grand visions... As always, suggestions and constructive criticism welcome! Thanks for your time.

Nice that it had stowage on it already - and covering the side window is a good touch. I will have to steal the idea of using the airplane decal. I wonder if I have any useful ones around....

I have a few and pick em up when i see them at the local Target/Walmart. :-) But yours is looking just as good as the others i have seen. I usually see them converted for military forces for recon vehicles. Grimm
