It happens I just kitbashed some interesting vehicles: a counter battery
radar vehicle, a tactical operation center and a zone air defence
vehicle.
The base hull for all three is GZG Aurora light wheeled APC (DF-C07),
there's
a picture of it on GZG catalogue, page 31. Bits and pieces are leftovers
from
old aircraft model kits, two hellfire launchers from a 1:300 Apache and
thin
cardboard.
The fast way: find a vehicle you like with a wide flat top or a separate
turret. Stick a stick on the top, it's the radar support. Find something
that
already resembles a radar or cut, bend and fold a piece of plastic card
or
cardboard until it has the right shape and glue it to the support.
Prime,
paint, play.
Ciao,
