Just finish my M923 Gun truck, there is some additional stowage and weapons i’d add up include that rusty chain.
at the end i’ve find put that i’m suppose to change tyre, coz this out of the box tyre are just not really accurate to the actual m923.
M923 ‘Hillbilly’ Gun Truck
Brand Model: Italeri
Scale: 1/35
Tamiya: 1/35 Modern US Military Equipment Set
Italeri: 1/35 Modern Battle Accessories
Voyager Models: 50cm chains set
Live Resin: M134D Minigun + M89A Surefire HellFighter Mount Assembly on heavy pedestal and S.A.G
It looks like a pretty good start. As you said, the tires are horrible and should be replaced. The M134 isn’t accurate on an M923 “Hillbilly” gun truck in Iraq for a couple reasons. These vehicles were only used for a short period of time before actual armor kits were added to them. The type of mount and such on the gun wasn’t used when these trucks were in use. Also, the gun and its battery, ammo box, ect. would be too heavy for the truck’s gun ring. Lastly, M134s are not allocated to truck companies. They are usually only used on special operations helicopters. A .50 cal would be more appropriate. Also, the water jugs you have in the back are a mix of different countries designs. The one with the cap that has two pins on it is the US style. They should all look be that type. The US military doesn’t use the other types. They should all look like the one below in either sand or black.
