Creating a modern day fuel truck
Posted: Sun Dec 14, 2008 5:37 pm
I'm contemplating modifying an FOV HIMARS into a fuel truck. I've been thinking about this for a while. Think about it. Most military vehicles, especially armor, consume vast quantities of fuel....... Therefore, a 'gas' truck is needed.
At most retailers you can pick up a HIMARS. Remove the rocket launching system and put in its place a 'tanker' from the New Ray tandem tanker vehicle. The tail 'tanker' is just about the right size. A little modification and some paint, and you've got a fuel truck. With the cost of a New Ray 1/32 truck and an adventure grade HIMARS, you cuold arguably have two tankers... What do you think?
As I write this entry I realize this item might be more appropriate for the Customs section but we need more vehicles of different types.
