M-715 civilian surplus for PD use.

Post by Chariots of Fire » Sun Jan 30, 2022 10:55 pm

Been working on this project for a few weeks now. The M-715 is Viet Nam war vintage, taking the place of the M-37. I'm using the Jeep Honcho plastic kit to build this in 1/25 scale. Eventually the cab will be painted dark brown like the body. The soft top will stay tan. Interior will be as it was when the military had it (OD). The Tornado OHC 6 cylinder engine is under the hood.

Charlie,
That's awesome! My Army unit had several of them. Very tough trucks - you couldn't kill them.

Fantastic work Charlie. I love the vintage snow mobile, or sled as they call them today.
