WAR RIG for GASLANDS
« on: April 26, 2019, 12:20:27 PM »
I built my first War Rig:



It was mainly a conversion of a die-cast Kenwort W900A model in 1/64th scale with a few minor scratchbuilt additions.

Very nicely done. Love the black streaked tanker trailer.

I really like your paint scheme, the colors and the 'stripe' look to the weathering on the tank look really cool.

Great conversion.  For some reason, I want to see a machine gun nest on the tanker...
