Plodding continues on the Armoured Recovery vehicle. No modelling time and I'm not feeling it like the HST but will hopefully get painting tomorrow & it'll all be better.
Fancy doing the wheels for me, @Indiana_Jones ?

I've got a kit of my Chevy in the stash, maybe it should be next on the list. Kind of fancy doing it as it was after it had finished the Alaska Highway & was just a yellow maintenance truck.
To be honest, I'm not that worried about the tyres sticking out.
Yes, I know it's "illegal" as they say, but we don't see much in the way of law where I live.
And they really don't seem to give a shit.
It'll be fine.

Hello gang, I know that coming here for any kind of advice is silly, but here goes.
I've found a company here that can supply new galvanised tubs for my Hilux from Thailand. They're not cheap, but the car doesn't owe me much after all these years.
Problem is, they can only get 2WD ones. They can supply 4WD repair patches that I could weld in but they're over 25% extra on the price.
So, do I suck it up and spend the cash or do I get the bed & a pair of 2WD front wings for that full on '70's sticky out tyre look ?

My next mission...
M32 ARV.
I wanted one of these years ago but they weren't available. I scratch built one on a welded hull Sherman at the time, it'll be interesting to see how close I got it.
Anyway, it's going to be Kiwi spec for Italy in 43/44. Stone & grey camo.
It may not be historically accurate regarding specific units, but what hell ?
Progress so far...
@a.craw4d, @yoeddynz , @locost_bryan, & @everyone. thank you for your appreciation.
So buzzed up on it, started another. We're off to Italy in late '43. There may be some GC's about.

Also, @Indiana_Jones, Stug ?
