Remembrance Day, Armistice Day, and Veterans Day.
Thank you veterans. Have a blessed day and year.

VAB VOA, artillery observation vehicle. I put it on the VAB 6x6 vs. 4x4.
Install LMG on the front starboard side hatch. Cut off the 20mm placement. Put down round cylinder of styrene, then the housing from STUG 3. Cut barrel off with just a bit remaining to represent the viewing device.

VAB 4x4 w/ 20mm
Cut a tiny piece of index card to cover the opening for the LMG. Cut down a bit of the hatch on top of the 4x4, glue down 20mm.

Abrams AVLB
The US have tested using the older VLB on Abrams hull since thousands of surplus in the boneyards.
Bought these a group, tried to separate the bridge from the frame, hence the scars.
The bridges are not as long as the recently produced bridges, but don’t have to spend as much. Works for the US.

For the CV9040 AA, I used the CV9040. Get a round rod of styrene cutting it and then sanding it for round edges. Glue in center rear of the turret. Then elevate the barrel some.
The engineer vehicle behind it doe not have a turret. Put a crane on it, some parts or equipment ‘looking’ stuff on top.
