What are the APCs in the last pic? Kozaks?

Foxbat, thank you.
Those are JLTV by GHQ that have been accessorized. I have accessorized some of the French vehicles, too.
The VBLs have a LMG from a VAB 4x4 and an. ATGM up there as well. Three have a HMG turret on the back of the VBL.
I’ll try to post after finishing the camouflage.

When you need to move thousands of rolls of TP, one needs to do it in a camouflaged tractor-trailer.

Nice stuff, Chris. I've checked what JLTVs are, the successor to the Humvee, but still in the process of acquisition (looks like 50k should be bought eventually) :wink:
That Soviet stuff is also impressive, MTLBs, Shilka and if I'm not mistaken, Pion SPGs?

Yes sir Foxbat.
The JLTV is the successor to Hummv, I also think to M-ATV. My guess the US will still us Hummvs (I will), my guess only.
I will try to continue to put an armored m.g. bucket up top. I may cannabilize some 6x6 Cougars and RG-31 turrets for JLTV. Then put CROWS on the Cougars and the Russian h.m.g. from BTR-T. for the RG-31. Then the BTR-G will receive the 30mm from BTR-80A1/BTR-90.

A sequence of kitbashed to make things work. Long live the Monarchy. God save the King.

RG-31, removed turret HMG, swapped out with the BTR-T HMG and also the CROWs m.g.

Love the work Chris. The KDF is using a lot more tractor trailers these days. 30' and 40' containers all over the Country.
I will try to dig some out this weekend.

Thank you Mick.
I would like to see your 30’ and 40’ ft trailers, please.

JLTV in camo. I think that my fingers/hand feels that the color I am putting on is the MOST important color. Thus very little green showing here. At times I catch myself and restrain the military brown & black. But with these, I went back with the green.

PG, I just noticed two different type hulls on the 2S19, 152mm artillery.
I better get to work to look for the right hulls.
