Just finished painting my cross RC 1:11th scale lmtv to match the big truck. They list it as 1:12 scale fc6 model but it's actually 1:11 scale after I measured things and found out.

Oh and did I mention cross RC is based in Oshkosh a lot of the people designing these models worked for Oshkosh and other military truck companies. And a Samsung gear 360 camera fits perfectly where the driver seat would be, if you drill a 1/4 inch hole in the floor and screw it in

Again that thing is awesome, great job on building it!! The 3 color camo came out great with crisp lines, did you airbrush it or how did you apply the paint? I love the detail in the suspension components and over all detail in everything. I wonder if i could add an extension on the back and find a matched scale crane and fabricate it to resemble my 1084. 🤔

Yeah the kit is very well done and yes I airbrushed the paint which came out better than the paint on my real truck! I wish I could find even thevsmall material handling crane that fits into the bed pockets for my real truck but I can't seem to find them anywhere I don't even know who makes them!
The frame rails are steel so they could be extended.

Lol I understand that on the paint, its not a real mil truck without paintbrush strokes all in the paint. On the crane topic alot of members are buying a Davit crane and adapting it to there trucks. Here’s one on amazon just quickly looking Limited-time deal: RUGCEL WINCH 2200lb Folding Truck-Mounted Crane, Painted Steel Pickup Truck Jib Cranes for 12V/24V Electric/Hand Operated Winch https://a.co/d/cRxMlx5. And if the frame on the model is metal I definitely could modify it a little, just have to find a good model crane to fit.

I couldn't help but add the Master Lock 770 latches that I have on the real truck. Anybody thinking about making one of these kids I printed a bunch of extra little Master Lock brackets which I will sell on eBay.
I also designed and printed from carbon fiber infused PETG, a nice holder you can mount any surface that will securely hold the master lock while you're driving the truck. These might be available soon on RVGlobeTrekker.com, once I make the necessary arrangements with them.
