HeavyArty Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) Looks like you did a pretty good job on it. One pointer, the tires should all be black-gray as civilian truck tires are, not camo. As a side note, I don't know where they got the truck from. It looks nothing like the actual truck that pulls the US Patriot system trailers. The actual truck is a M983 HEMTT tractor. The trailer is pretty accurate for the launcher and tracking antenna trailers... But the OE-349/MRC Antenna Mast Group is usually mounted on back of an M900 series 5 ton truck.

HeavyArty Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Yup, saw the post there too. It doesn't look like anything further than you posted here. It also doesn't change the fact that the truck is fictional. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HeavyArty Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Can you post a pic of it? If so I can probably get you close to the actual tank chassis. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HeavyArty Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Looks like the same basic chassis as the SA-6 to me, which is based on the GM 578 chassis. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
