1/18 Badger with base coat applied. Armor plates and sand bags painted. What's left: camo, removable armor, lighting, weathering, etc. fold down monitor for driver side for night driving which will light up.

Looks great. Still not sold on the M242 and LAV-25 turret, but the work is undeniably solid.

Thanks Konigstiger! Trust me others ask same question. The concept is possible but would stretch the load limits of the current, heavy HMMWV variants. The Avenger air defense system sported a turret with stinger launchers.
The heavier HMMWV's have payload capacities up to 5100 lbs (granted not all centered on roof). The combat weight of the LAV-25 turret is 4254 lbs. Even today they continue to upgrade HMMWV's and are more variants out there then ones I've seen. For purpose in this verse, the turrets used on the badgers were stripped down to basics. The frame, suspension, engine and transmissions were also upgraded to handle the weight of the gun, turret, ammo, and extra armor. |
