Cassillis:
Nice Job. Not my cup of tea but a great job all the same. Are you going to be at any of the shows this year?
sas pinkie:
Cheers for the comments.
-Yes that is a GMPG (general purpose machine gun).
-The fuel tanks are under each of the front seats, series stylee....
-I will be at Gaydon and Eastnor Castle with a bit of luck.
-I was on the London to Brighton but not with this one, I was a passenger in another real one. There were two real and one fake one there.
-Fully Laden they weigh between 3 and 5 tonnes.
-gtomo2: I have loaded it as per grainy pics I have of them in the first Gulf war. I know what you mean about the lights, they were either painted or had smoke launcher covers on the rear and lights with hessian over the headlights, but I drive this all over on the road and need the lights uncovered to remain legal.
I dont understand what you mean about QT sliders. It has southdown front steering and axle gaurds, southdown made and supplied rear axle gaurds but I have been led to believe these were never fitted. If you have any further info or even better pics, please, I would love to chat. you PM me or email me if you would rather.

The hessian covers are rolled up for use. They are designed to prevent the sun gliunting on the glass of the lenses thereby giving the position away.
On our (R.Sigs) 4 ton bedfords we had hessian skirts running all way round the body to eliminate the dark area under the vehicle that was also easy to pick out... and another that came down over the cab to cover the expanse of glass on the windscreen and doors.
Hope this aint making you suck eggs...!
gtommo2 See... you need a communicator to translate for you! SPROG! :P :P :P

Cheers mate, that is the bit I DID understand, on the Pinkies the skirts round the sides were used in training in Africa, but were discarded by the time they got to the Gulf. Hessian covers were used over the lights BUT I havnt fitted them as I use the vehicle on the road too much......
:roll:
The bit I didnt understand was the bit about QT sliders..........
Cheers for trying tho....
