Title: FAW Jiefang heavy H540 4x4 truck
Post by: Gunbird on April 09, 2012, 01:37:35 PM
The FAW Jiefang heavy H540 4x4 truck is a common sight in Chinese held territory. Rugged and reliable, this commercial truck chassis sells well on the open market and is used by  civillians as well as governmental and para military organisations in China Major and the frontier.

The multi fuel engine means you will never be without a means to keep it going, its 4x4 system gets you places most other wheeled vehicles can't go and the roomy chassis has space for quite the large assortment of equipment and add-on packs. For example, we recently outfitted a shipment of new police trucks with a dozer blade to help our beloved troops clean up barricaded roads, be it manmade or caused by natural events. The honeycombed Durasteel blade comes with a 15 year normal use warranty (1 year on the damper and shock absorbers of the attatchment points) )and can be supplied to government controlled agencies only. Foreign investrors can contact our headoffice in Bejing.

Model used for this is the Flames of War BR277 Gun Tractor (2 in a pack) with no serious modifications. The models were crisply cast, no flaws, I just removed the base and added my own. The ram plough is made from a few spare Plastic Soldier Company Panzer IV turret Schürzen. Decals are from I-94 decals (numbers) and TL Decals (shield).

Really nice!

But it makes me wonder what games you could possibly be running, to be needing these... :D

Now that you mention it, better tell you before you get the idea I go around running games in which the police breaks up riots and arrests people for no real reason..... :D

I'm building a Chinese force for Tomorrows War and I'm focussing on civillian and police (equipment) atm, Aliens will be next and after that the army. This way I get to try out games on a lower scale before moving up to more troops, equipment and what not. Plus it looks good on the table.
