I like black idea too (and one of mine will be :wink: ), but the agency requested the color on this unit. There will be black reflective decals and satin black trim parts, etc. I only have a few more days, we still have to touch up the interior, put the parts back on and install the decals. We...
Maybe someday Readyman, but for now it's just a neat hobby 8) Here we drop the tracks, prep and paint. The engine cover and small parts should be back from powdercoating tomorrow.
I had forgot about that one...so now it looks like there are one of three ways of coming out: On your feet, on your back or in an ash bucket. ( only one of those options seems favorable to me though) Yes, in training lots of things happen, thats why they train. And there has been lots of...
There are lots of ideas, but the resources to bring them to life are quite limited. The vehicle, and many of the upgrades and modifications are donated. We have, and will do what we can for these agencies and thats all anyone can do I suppose. The capabilities of this machine are more than...
I can only speculate as to what Kalid was, but I can definitely tell you what he is now. Stories such as this are just one more reason I like to put in good work on vehicles like this. When someone has made their own decision to leave this world, I feel obligated to do what I can to make their...
We are setting the ground work for future mods right now, concentrating on the removal of unecessary bracketry and equipment. We will also drop the camo and go with a #23070 OD green, with black powdercoated tow rings, covers and other misc parts. The decals are also custom black reflective...
We are in the process of donating some alterations to this vehicle, which is expected to take place in phases. The first phase involves removing obsolete or unecessary equipment, relocation of some of the remaining equipment, and removal of unused brackets and hardware from the exterior and crew...
I would like to get a V100 as well, but I guess that I dont want one bad enough. Im curious about the spare parts availability for the BRDM-2 might be? Probably better availability than V100 parts.
Actually I bought them while they were still under the snowstorm that hit hard there. But I am building the cupola for the 20mm mount, then installing it on the M114A1E1 that is going full restoration. I even purchased two airsoft M14s and M79 launcher with the walnut stocks. If you guys...
I just noticed this post, evidently I got the last two of them. These were the A1 cupola assemblies. The 20mm mounting requires further modification for the correct install. I have ordered a manual for the E1 cupola, and hopefully I will be able to get enough information to complete. Like the...

As you might expect, modern armor will certainly become impossible to own in private collections as new restrictions are passed down. Just look at the .50 BMG ammo and parts...within a year the ammo and select parts has more...
Maz, the only real consideration is what you are wanting to put into one. After that, just pick the one that appeals to you. Since these things are quite durable, it is not likely that you will ever be able to put the amount of time on them that makes parts availability a major concern...
I have a M114 lower chassis (running) that weighs approx 8000lbs. This was one of the M114s that had the upper armor cut off to make what appears to be a tracked utility vehicle. Any help is appreciated. Gerald osmwi@bellsouth.net
