Brand new off the assembly line at the Shinryuu Corporation is the SHMT-1447
"Schmitt" Heavy Missile Truck.  Heavily armored and armed with 12 missiles in
two rotating turrets, one forward firing machine gun, one rear mounted turreted
machine gun, one anti-aircraft/armor-piercing cannon, and one undercarriage
mounted antipersonnel flamethrower, this vehicle is indispensible to any
military action.

(...) Excellent truck, Jeff! My friend just forwarded the link to me -- I sadly hadn't seen it sooner. I've been trying to think of how to make a pop-up missile pod for a SAM-site, could you give me any pointers on how you made yours? -- Mark Nelson (...)
