Those HMMWVs were 3D printed. I just printed the whole company so that i wouldn't have a mix of printed and pewter in the same company.

Re: Joint Task Force Pope
Gentlemen, I am very happy to announce that the A Troop refurbishment effort is complete! Most of the vehicles currently assigned to the ACR project have grotesque and sub-standard paint jobs, so I am methodically refurbing everything in 1st Squadron. All vehicles were stripped and re-painted, plus machine guns added to the tanks. The dismounts received a dry brush to spruce them up a bit (I wasn't about to re-paint all of them!)
All of the vehicles are GHQ except for the trailers (3D printed) and the HMMWVs (CinC). And the maintenance M113 is CinC as well.
B Troop refurb is already well underway!

Re: Joint Task Force Pope
Lookin' REALLY GOOD! Get some tweezers and straighten the cal50 barrels. In V CORPS, we weren't supposed to paint canvas, like in M35 cab tops. The paint caused faster canvas deterioration. If condemned canvas was applied to plywood build ups on trucks and trailers, it was often painted, but the reg didn't apply.

Re: Joint Task Force Pope
Thanks guys! I think when I was putting the camo on I had in my mind that the trucks had a hard top. LOL I will make sure I paint them as canvas on the next batch!

Excellent work all over, especially the detailing in these M 106 (or M 109) self propelled mortars.

Re: Joint Task Force Pope
Thank you Foxbat! Gotta love the mortars!
And here is B Troop (Bobcat Troop) complete with its refurb. The only difference from A Troop is the M35s are from CinC.

That is a great looking bunch of vehicles, Redleg! I also see you have added some infantry to the mix as well.

Re: Joint Task Force Pope
Thanks, Fellas! The dismount stands are the 2-man dismounted scout teams. One dismount team in each Brad.
And while technically not part of JTF-P, here is a battery of PzH 2000. Just the fun stuff - no wheels or support vehicles at this point.

Those TOCs must have a difficult
time following the PZH-2000 vehicles.
Nice friendly support.

In German artillery Youtube videos, the M577 role is filled by Fuchs. You can send the 577s back to US.
