wish this had functional doors. I could modify it, and I probably will at some later date (I already have way too many ongoing projects in various stages of completion), but damn - how hard would it be for one of the toy manufacturers to build some realistic and functional modern MRAPs? I mean, M&C and BBI both made some nice HMMWVs and other miscellaneous items, but here we have 3 armored wheeled vehicles based on real world military models - the BAE Caiman 6x6 (Gyrosphere Blast Vehicle), the Oshkosh M1083A1P2 MTV %-ton Cargo (Rescue Rig) and the MDT Textron Tiger Light Protected Vehicle by Textron Marine & Land Systems built upon the Dodge Ram 5500 platform - but all three are far from replicas. The M1083 is the most functional for practical playability, but it's under-scaled and a lot of the finer details (like the spare tire carrier behind the cab and roof gunner hatch) are non-functional and vague-looking. I know BBI has under-scaled a lot of their more recent offerings too, which really sucks. Here's hoping that M&C Toys adds some of these newer models to their World Peacekeepers line soon. They're the only one out there doing a decent job in this scale.
