    The only thing that impressed me about our LADs 434 was how they dispensed with any pac lifting kit and had it decked out with a TV and beer in the back.
    They made it look like WE were roughing it.

    I can't say i'd noticed,but then again I don't think I ever passed an AFV recognition test in 12 years.

    More like the M113 is still in actual use so not many have been surplused out, and the mocked up Chieftans were originally for a movie made without DoD support (Courage under Fire) so no Abrams loaned.

    I think Veluzet Armored Vehicles made the fake Abrams for that. They made T-72's from M8A1's for Red Dawn. I thought the Puma's mocked up to look like MIL-24's were pretty good too but they must have been a cow to fly with that false cockpit blocking your vision.

    Everyone deserves a second chance, except those who try to shaft me and fail.

    Funnily enough no-one ever blocks you in when you park it up either.

    I was reading an article in Military Machines a few months back and noticed that one guy has turned his 432 into a Hearse (not a House)
