Guest snipersmudge Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 last time i saw one of these in 1/35th scale it was a resin kit made by verlinden, way out of my price range at the time. I have tried for years unsuccessfully to track one down and blow me hobby boss answers my prayers!. The main reason i am so pleased about this release is because I've always wanted to model one of the convoy escort vehicles as used in Vietnam and one of the decal options in the kit, "blind faith" is one such vehicle i want to model. it was operated by MP detachments during the conflict in conjunction with gun trucks to protect the convoys. Hobby boss are also releasing different variants of this base vehicle, guess what I'll be building soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here! Indochina/Vietnam era is one of my favourite. Sure that I'll get one. But I'll try to avoid "Blind Faith", too well known for my taste. I hope that there will be soon plenty of choice between decals sheets on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest snipersmudge Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Hi Antoine, I know what you mean about "blind faith" however it's one of my favs. The other one I will possibly do is "CAPTAIN AMERICA" which is a very "groovy" vehicle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest snipersmudge Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 it's a cracker isn't it Antoine? I think it could be easily hand painted. The wording could be easily sourced from decals and the rest added by hand. Very colourful and interesting you can also make out the vehicle codes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
