I was looking on http://www.primeportal.net/ And swe the vehic’s and wanted to build this one first. But I have know idea of what it is called or it’s numbers you know like M1115 or some thing like that.
An these two some types of trucks.
I guess there US used units but I have never seen any thing like them and must have them on my Model shelf.
Thank’s Vince
I think that the second from bottom is a Buffalo mine clearing vehicle…as to the others, I have no idea. But all of them sure look like interesting projects for the ambitious builder.
In the 1st ,2nd and 3rd pics the armored car looking thing is a M1117, similar to a v-150 but newer. The 4th and 5th pics are what we called a FMTV (Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles). They come in 4 and 6 wheel versions, the armored cabs are added in Kuwait. The 6th pic is as said before a Buffalo (not sure of designation).
Thank’s guys once I get my M113 Conversion done I will start on one of these. Oh and I don’t know wich one I will start on at they both look hard to build from scratch. But I will give it my all.
isn’t one of the decepticons in transformer movie a buffalo?
A unit at my camp brought these and I believe they were called ASV’s, Armored Security Vehicle. Ah, here we go:
The Armored Security Vehicle-150 (ASV-150)(M-1117) is an armored wheeled vehicle equipped with a turret and armament system designed to meet the security mission requirements of the Military Police Corps. The ASV-150 is a 4 wheel drive vehicle equipped with a 260 horsepower diesel engine, 6 speed automatic transmision and all wheel independent suspension that offers a quality ride while providing superior mobility, agility and handling. The ASV-150 turret is equipped with an improved 40mm MK 19 grenade launcher and 12.7mm machine gun and can be traversed 360 degrees and the weapons elevated between -10 to +60 degrees. The vehicle features roll-on/roll-off C130 tranportability in the fully operational configuration.
