Buying Bender

Unread post by mrdibbles » February 24th, 2008, 9:01 pm

Hey Guys-
Today was a bender of sorts :P I went to a fellow MV clubmate's house and we went through some of his stuff. I was able to pick out some cool things for my A2.

Eventually my A2 will be re-stenciled, bumper and bumperettes, for a mid-eighties period and Army Battalion. It's going to be a recon Mutt with the M-4 Pedestal (for the M60), equipped with Chem Detection Equipment, and eventually have a vehicular PRC-77 mounted. Anyway here are some pics of today's buying spree :lol:

I am pretty sure that ain't gonna happen Rick. I like using my trailer too much to put nice shiny new paint on it :)
