Default 67 Pattern militia recce Jeep

You have a good imagination and a lot of energy to put the parts together. I could poke at a few of the little details, but yours is rolling - mine isn't. So you have one huge advantage over me!

Sulking and feeling outplayed, I would put the RT524 on the right wheel well, because the IKEE power supply runs along the body from that side to the battery box. The FN rifle is reversed, but it fits where it is. In any case, very few self-respecting recce troopers accepted an FN if an SMG was available. The SMG mount should probably be between the seats next to the handbrake, and the Ansul #5 extinguisher on the dash. But there were Jeeps with the SMG on the dash, just as well. I'm not a big fan of that numbering stencil location, but there are pictures of the numbers there too.

And in case any American patriots give you dirty looks or call the BATF, Militia in Canada is a good word. You can correctly describe your Jeep as a Militia recce (never recon) vehicle.
