Very cool! The amount of detail you put into this is excellent for such a small kit.

Huh? A Palfinger in 1/72 scale? Did that come with the kit? Nice detailing! I'm not usually into trucks, but I got to hand it to You, very different and very cool model!

palfinger?!?! u mean the crane at the back? just googled the word! everything u see on the truck all came with the kit. suppose u need a crane as the cargo bed is a lot higher than normal due to the large wheels, looks like theres a smaller one for the spare wheel

anyway, heres the original as its supposed to be:-

by the way, im starting a railway layout soon, so im getting some military cars and trucks and civilianize it so to speak, also looking for a specific helicopter as well.

ive got Revell 1/72 scale Hummers in progress at the mo, will post pics once finished

Nice conversion, I couldn't have tell this was a military truck.

Can't wait for your railway layout. I think building railway models takes a lot more skills than just cars with all those landscaping and perspective works involved. It sure would take a long time to populate the layout with various buildings as well! Keep the good work coming!
