Alvis rebooted, and he's back in the mix! 

Are you out of the slump?  From what you posted I would have to suspect that was the case. 

Interesting kit bash nonetheless and certainly creative.

Yeah, actually putting together stuff for a change. All backlogged from ages ago, nothing "new", but hey, done is done.

PanzerPorschenKampfenFarvenWagen Typ 928 Auf G
PzPKfRW 928 Auf G

Developed as a rapid resonse ARC Moderation team Urban Assault Vehicle, the PzPKfRW 928 has excellent cornering characteristics and fast acceleration, combined with superb cross-country ability. The remotely operated turret carries the hard punch of a 37mm gun firing "Deleted Post" rounds, some of the densest material know. The suto loader allows for a rapid rate of fire, and the remote targetting uses both visual and electronic targetting. Armour is a bio-organic/polycarbonate composite material, both light and effective. Fine leather seats and interior, combined with the Weissach suspension give a comfortable ride, and the sterring is light and responsive. Sliding in through the windows isn't the most elegant way to enter a vehicle, but if it was good enough for the Duke Brothers, then it's good enough for ARC moderators. So far, only one has been produced, and is being tested at the top secret ARC Test Track, located on an insland in the Pacific Ocean.

I used a 1/24 AMT Porsche 928 (awful kit) and the turret from some dang German tank in 1/35. The tracks and wheels are from the ever popular Czech 38T family, and the gun is a 1/48 75mm Panther gun. Paint courtesy of Tamiya Spraycans

Turret looks like that of a Panzer II Alvis.

How can something be beautiful and hilarious at the same time? Some how you've pulled it off Alvis!

On the details: no question that the "Deleted Post" rounds would be dense but what of their long term effects on the environment?

I believe you may have invented the ultimate solution to traffic congestion, Alvis!

My hat's off to your incredible imagination and flawless execution!

They're very toxic! I suggest not eating them.

Well done! Might have been neat to have one of these guys stuck and flattened in the tracks and roadwheels.

Rank has its privileges, obviously.   ::) When I was a lowly GB mod (What-If GB) on ARC, I didn't get so much as a Yugo.

Hmmm...you know, while there aren't any kits of Yugos as far as I know, Revell does a very nice Trabant. Hmmm....Thanks for the idea!
