Some random painting.

Post by The_Helicopter_Pilot » Tue Jan 15, 2013 4:38 pm

I had this vehicle that come with the newray 1/32 AH-64 and it looked pretty bland, so I decided to paint it, and sell it on my website because I'm not really an armor guy, how much y'all think I can get out of it?

$5-10 bucks, on account that it is New Ray.

The painting looks good though.

Question: Is that supposed to be a German Flag in that last pic? If so, I don't recall the Bundeswehr operating an armoured vehicle like that.

Sounds reasonable, and yes it is a German flag, they have a vehicle like this but not exact, I don't know if this vehicle is even real, or if so, what country uses it, maybe someone can tell me different?
And thank you, I actually spent some time on the painting, sense it's hand painted.

Make sure you don't describe it as from a smoke-free home, Mr Chimney.

Don't worry about the Smoking Nazis, next they'll try to make us feel guilty for having good food or a Coke, oh wait, theyve already started that too, ! ;-)

The swiss Mowag Piranha (6x6 or 8x8) is in use in many country in Europe, the company belongs now to the General Dynamic Group that developped derivatives overseas (Canada, USA...). But Germany seems to have something else.

Alright, I can Just paint over it, and let whoever gets it add markings.

I found this on Wikipedia: Germany still has the Daimler-Benz Fuchs (6x6) LAV and is slowly replacing them with the heavier ARTEC Boxer (8x8) MRAV (also in use in use in the UK, Netherlands).
Users of the Piranha and derivatives (LAV-25, ...): they are a lot! So, if you want to change your flag, have a look here:

I think I'll just paint over the flag, and sell it without markings.
