Looks really good,

The turrets a good match, what was the donor vehicle you used?

Are you planning to do a custom driver as well?

Louie & I have been working in tandum on our own CVR(T) projects & both also went different ways in building them,though well impressed with your`s Louie.
For your first custom vehicle mate,most certainly one to be PROUD of

Well done mate.

WOW that is fantastic Louie,a Great job & l`m truely happy to have been a part of this Scimitar project with you mate

I can easily see the AF Wolverine fleet being updated with your mods to them mate.
Z force & SAS force would have some serious Air Transportable firepower mobile Recce vehicles

Maybe mate some more turrets need to be done or maybe a HOW TO for those wanting to give AF something like this also??

Again well worth the wait & Excellent work Louie.

cheers ja thanks for the input positive as usual if people show interest in the dimensions and the build i can post them up not a problem and thanks steve for putting them up and for a great site to reminise over old times

Aw shucks...

... I'm glad to see that interest is still around in AF.

Please do post the dimensions (etc) if you like I could add them to the customs part of the main site, along with any pics you'd like to use.

So how are you going to top this one?

Once again great job!
