I purchased this documentary last year. Now its uploaded on youtube by some bloke 😬

Interesting pic here. Mix of pattern 70 and 83

Rhodesian with an austrian FN FAL? Looks like such with that fluted handguard furniture. Same one used in SQUAD

Marines with the G3

This oke lifts!

@everyone Restaurant closes tomorrow evening. I'll be back home by monday. I'd like to get started on the Samil 100 logistics and transport truck asap. Though I lack a blueprint to model over. This may be a small chance but I'll ask anyway... anyone have a blueprint of the samil 100 kwevoel? I need mininum two angles to get the proportions right. Side and top or front view.

The MLRS version will also have to be modeled it has an extended cabin though.

Interesting prototype SADF vehicles

There's that palm tree insignia again. Rather sinister reminder of the Afrika Corps insignia.

@Springbok ill ask my dad if some of his mech-veteran buddies have some info and ill go theough some books for you

@Bartender shot man 🤟

The Veldskoen prototype mpv never seen it before til last night. Looks interesting

I can see why

A couple of high calibre rounds to the front and that engine is royally screwed

@Bartender same could be said for the Buffel and Casspir to be fair

Ehh i guess but their radiatot grills werent as huge as this tbh

True though the Buffel has an exposed engine

Easy to maintain and replace

The same for the ratel and olifant

Fun fact the tiffies (engineers in the army) could change a ratels engine on the move by driving the ratel onto a transport truck and taking out then droppong in a new engine and drive it off again and its good to go

@Bartender ja that is mentioned by 61 Mech Roland de Vries in his memoir Eye of the Firestorm.

Can see some SADF and SANDF vehicles used by AU troops in this documentary

Namely casspirs, mambas and buffels

And Samil trucks

Soft skin versions though no kwevoels

With helicopters now in SQUAD officially. I can't wait to start modeling the alouette III and Puma

Will be back sometime after friday. Was supposed to be back yesterday but was invited to lunch at a winery. Couldn't pass on that 🤪

This must be one of the first batch of casspirs? Since later Mk I's did not have CASSPIR embossed on the front like this one.

Or that's a custom job done by one of the Koevoet mechanics?

Poor okes had bugger all to fight with yet still fought on despite the circumstances. An AU faction would be interesting in SQUAD imo.

Mix of western, eastern and south african equipment and hardware.
