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.
Perhaps something to look into after the Border War, SANDF and Rhodesian Bush War...
Yup thats a really really early casspir
The turbo wolf used by SWATF not many references for it sadly. Basically the brother of the Casspir. Casspir middle, Wolf top and bottom.
@Springbok get a copy if taming the landmine
Has pretty much every southern african mrap
Surviving the ride is apparently an updated version of that?
Not always great pics but shows decent big differences
@Springbok ah ok
Didnt know that
Heitmann is smoking crack though if he thinks id pay that price
Ja its nuts
1000 pages though.
But still overpriced
The Great Betrayal is an overpriced book too.
@Kooijpolloi now if those books had blueprints for all the vehicles featured it would be godsend
Making biltong on a Buffel
@Springbok ja hey
