Nice! There's supposed to be a Bison kit (I saw the CAD), but other releases are jumping ahead of it.

10x10 for the win!

Amazing how changing out the tires/wheels makes the gun look a lot more modern.

I know, right?  That was one of the first things I realized with the wheel swap was how much less it looked like it was WW2 and German and more like something developed much later.

If you need to justify where this should go, remember that all of the ground support vehicles are to support the aircraft/missile. 

Very innovative on the launcher rail.

Thanks guys,

Got some more time at the bench and started creating the launch rail





This in turn threw up a problem with the missile, I originally designed it to have a single large booster ( a la F104) but unfortunately this would be below the launch rail and would foul the supports so I have switched to two boosters either side, underneath the tail.



The tractor is also throwing up some problems in that I intended it to allow the crew to stand up inside but that makes it incredibly tall. I think I will compromise, they will have to crouch much like a personnel carrier.



The picture shows the tractor with Arthur Brain, but he is 1/72 so a bit big for a 00 or 1/87 scale vehicle. Even if I compare it with a proper size figure it's still too high.

Thinks: is this post in the wrong thread as there are more vehicles than aircraft 

More when it happens

I think some even carried bombs too.

Here's a photo of one with bombs:

Great job, especially with the weathering and ordnance!

Not a fan of the interchangable infantry-pilots idea, though - makes zero sense in any universe.

Not much in the show made a lot of sense. It was more of a WWII in space.
