Another GT build in 1/35 scale.  AFV Club 5 ton M54a2 kit with Hobby Link Red Baron gun truck conversion.  Decals were Archer Dry transfers.  Sadly the dry transfers are old and I used 2 sets and still had issues, either the images wouldn't transfer or they were stuck to the protective sheet (the one that is supposed to keep them from sticking....).  The Hobby Link conversion was actually decent, there were warps in the rear of the armor panels but they bent back into shape and stayed there.  This truck was originally named "The Saint".  It has 2 M60's in the front corners, 2 50 cal's to the rear and an XM-134 mini-gattling gun in the center.  Exhaust was extended and it ran street tires in front instead of the military NDT's.  They installed the side track protectors from an M113 for extra protection along the bed.

Another awesome build. That's quite the fire power in the bed. Lotsa hot brass flying around when the excrement hit the fan.

Thanks, this was one of the more well-outfitted GTs of the war.
