I like the jeep on tracks. I’m thinking 1/35 th jeep and 1/72nd tank tracks.

I picked up an olive green paint today. I’ll have to mask again but that’s ok.

Very cute 

I kind of like the "John Deere" look ... but I can see why you might want a more OD tone too.

Now that I've seen this I remember the light stick in the water bottle attached to the antenna bit. I just don't remember what it was for.....

Mainly, the antenna chem sticks were for IR vehicle identification (including from the air) without interfering too much with NV equipment. Using multiple bottles vertically allowed different colour codes to be displayed.

A side benefit was that, within columns and convoys, the movement of each vehicle could be tracked by others under poor light conditions.
