Wasteland Buzzard

Album image #1
MPC's Rat Trap Vega is a simple kit (no chrome or clear parts) that made for an easy conversion to the buzzard. I didn't have to make any modifications to the basic structure of the vehicle, just build it out of the box, and add the detailing to it. I added ribs to the front, and a bit of armor to the windshield opening. 
 

Album image #2
I covered the roof with the iconic scrap-metal spikes that define buzzard vehicles, but I had to leave the driver's side clear for vehicle entry and access to the fuel tanks. 
 

Album image #3
Driver access is through the window opening. I added two large fuel tanks to give the buzzard plenty of range, and to store any "guzzoline" he might capture. 
 

Album image #4
I added a spiked rear bumper and a spiked shield plate to protect the fuel tanks and the rear of the vehicle. And because buzzards are all about destruction, and seem to favor saws, I added two circular saws mounted on hydraulic cylinders to the trunk area.
