Gun Truck

Coming out of the box on this. Might get some aftermarket wheels if anyone has a source. :coolio

Awesome, love gun trucks

Awesome Bob. RB and Aber and probably more make some nice 50 cal barrels and RB also has some soft plastic gun belts. Looking forward to seeing this come together.

knock it out of the park

Got the gun truck reference book here if you need it.

Thanks James, I got barrels from the M16 halftrack a while back, never built it. Might even have some PE for the gun mount. Don't know if they have the flash suppressors.

 

[Paulw]

go for it James, the more guns the better

 

[Skinny_Mike]

This will be cool!

Don't know if they have the flash suppressors.

I don't know of any 50 Cal barrels with the flash hiders although PONTOS was supposed to release a set. AFV Club has a machine gun set with two barrels you can use.

Nancy, and most Quad gun trucks, still had the mount from M-55 trailer with the wheels removed and jacks deployed.

Regards and have fun,

Looking forward to this build. DEF Models has aftermarket wheels. I got mine from Spruce Brothers.

I am glad Saul mentioned the M55 trailer having the wheels displaced and the whole system being placed in the bed of the truck. I was disappointed that AFV Club did not include the trailer. While at the Warrior Transition Unit at Fort Sill, OK I participated in an internship program at the Air Defense Artillery Museum. My first project was a life size display at Snow Hall of the bed of a quad .50 that we made out of plywood and other materials since we couldn't get a whole 2 1/2 truck into the room the display is located in. At the actual museum we have one on display complete with some manequins.

Cheers,
James

Thanks guys, If AFV didn't include the axle I doubt I will try to fabricate it. Don't know why Dragon doesn't keep that guy carriage in production, seems like a hot seller.

BTW, did that red dirt

So I find this,
http://store.spruebrothers.com/product_p/defdw30007.htm
for $25 but it's labeled for for AFV kits.

I find this,

http://store.spruebrothers.com/product_p/defdk35001.htm
for $45 that is for AFV.

Do I get a mess of other stuff that may not be used to get the right wheels or take a chance?

 

[tom1815]

At that price I would take the chance

 

[nsmekanik]

I wouldn't know the difference so I'd say save yerself some bucks for more important stuff, nothing a bit of muck and grime won't hide

Got it!

Thanks Saul.

Anytime in the month of Aug I can expect it.

 

[iambrb]

Cool stuff big man!

Great looking project Pup. Looking forward to it.

First thing i'm learning, AFV instructions suck. Order of parts being installed sucks. Rear axle assembly is tricky but I think i'll have them installed tmorrow.
