Evening all. Well, thanks to Sprue Bros. lightning deal I now have a third M51 Peacemaker kit. My game plan is to do the gun trucks I remember from my time in ER2 in 72. As I remember it when I transferred in we had Peacemaker and the Judge.Soon after they de gunned the Judge and redid the Peacemaker as Mafia Operated, with some of the guns from Judge. If anyone has pics or info on these I’d appreciate it. My other truck is Peace Train, an APC gun truck that was at Pleiku when we were sent up there during the Easter Offensive. I have the King Cobra kit to use for this one. Again, any pics or info appreciated. Hopefully I can get some of these done in what time I have to work with. Ha ha Wayne

We can only hopen it didn’t end up in Lamar, CO. More broken down military trucks per capita than an Army motor pool.

Looks like a fun project. Convert that tired, old dump truck into a VN era Gun Truck. Here’s a cool video from the NMoMV over in Dubois.

If I had the funds and the remaining time I would build one just to honor those guys. I only knew Red on Peace train slightly and remember meeting some of the guys on Mafia Operated, on the run up to An Son,but they were all good guys.
