"Otto" M37 Gun Truck

[Warren D]

I think I'm done, you never really know as little things appear missing or break..... This is the majority of the Hobby Link 1/35 scale "Mr. Nice" M37 gun truck kit.  As I had decals for Otto and needed to fab the armor box anyway, I decided on Otto.  In spite of warped cab parts and much less detail than the Roden M37, it did go together rather well, in fact, much better than any Hobby Link kit I've built so far.  Otto has two pair of M60's, I had to fab the two twin mounts along with the armor.  Yellow headlights weren't rare, they were NATO-spec that were left behind by the French when they departed Vietnam.  I have them on my full-sized M37 Vietnam gun truck (they are rare now and appropriately expensive!)

Another nice one. So many variations on the theme.

Thanks, most of them were field built one-offs.  If something worked, it was copied, if it didn't, they tried something else!
