Damaged M113s in the back of these trucks? I’d like to see that conversion! Wow, this looks like a really great set.

Hobby Link sets are awesome. Highly recommended.

The Red Baron gun truck was pretty cool.

You will also need HL’s Snoopy gun truck to go with it.

All right guys. I’ve never been interested in gun trucks. Now I am! Now I’ve got to figure out which one of these things I want to build first.

THANKS FOR MAKING ME SPEND MORE MONEY! :wink:

@HeavyArty Gino, since I love dump trucks, I’m going to have to go with Peace Maker. Now that is a really cool looking machine.

There are some more modern options too.

Before you order it check Warren’s article. There are things that you will need to watch out for. Also, I’ve informed them that it is missing a sprue Q for the armored glass so have them make sure it is there before you buy. Wayne

Another thing that the Hobby Link kits don’t have is the cab and windshield armor which can be different for each truck. Check your references. Wayne

Having reviewed my stash, I have a few Tamiya M113s so all I need is a couple more M54 trucks to put them in! Peace Train is a possible and have decal set for the Colonel. Wayne
