Great idea and great looking so far! You've done it again.. :D

I love it! Keep up the good work.

I'm going to attempt a German 6-rad armored car on that chassis, maybe next winter. I scratch-built one in 1/6th a few years ago:

That 6-rad still blows me away Gary. Nice job guys. Still plenty of trucks out there. "get em while you can".

Grognard, this is really turning out nice! I can't wait to see it when it's all grimed up and beat up, you know how we love our Russian stuff! :D

Grognard, that looks great! Glad to see you've had time to work on the project. I hope all is well with the MRS.
I do wish there were more of these Indy Trucks available, there's plenty of potential with them as You've shown.
