Well that’s the festive season out of the way and it’s back to some painting. I am working my way through the vehicle related stuff in the ‘Nam lead pile so this week I have the oddball item that is the M274 mule with a 105mm recoilless rifle .
The kits is a 28mm item from Gringo40s that will give my Marines some more firepower - though zero protection for being fired at !.
next up some opposing vehicles.
Points
1 x 28mm vehicle = 20
3 full crew = 15
Total = 35 points to my total and the Neverending Cold War side dual .
Nice support unit, Dave! I'm not too sure about that gunner's position - won't he get caught by the back-jet when it's fired?

Well indeed , but he needs to load the shell and jump off !
ReplyDeleteBizarre little vehicle Dave, powerful punch and a glass chin.
ReplyDeleteSure is !
DeleteNice work
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteLovely work Dave! I remember seeing footage of a Mule in action in Hue during Tet. As you say, the crew stay quite clear of it when it fires! Scary little beast.
ReplyDeleteIt’s a big gun for a small cart alright
DeleteThat's a great little vehicle Dave
ReplyDeleteCheers
Deletecool, will need some rules for this
ReplyDeleteYup we don
DeleteA nicely painted little beast, oriented to urban combat. Recommend reading Hue 1968 by Mark Bowden to understand the carnage
ReplyDeleteYeah I have the book . I went with the same basing as the rest if the collection for now
DeleteNice work Dave
ReplyDeleteCheers
DeleteThat's pretty cool dave. I didn't know they had those in Nam!
ReplyDeleteYes there are lots of oddball options in the Nam!
DeleteNice work Dave, certainly a strange looking gun.
ReplyDeleteIndeed it is , cheers Ray
DeleteFine work Dave.
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteNice work on this bizarre technical.
ReplyDeleteCheers
DeleteInteresting piece of equipment, you’ve done a very fine job with it!
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteGreat stuff - who wouldn't love such a big BOOM jeep!
ReplyDeletegrwat little boomer, the basing really makes it look like they're kneedeep in Nam mud!
ReplyDeleteLove this oddball support weapon, nice project.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing, I can't decide whether that would be terrifying to use or if it is instead somehow an icon of the American dream... either way, very well painted!
