This Textron Tiger comes from the Matchbox pegs.  This one was from the Jurassic Park package. The Real life Textron Tiger is a light armor vehicle, built around a modified Dodge Ram 5500 truck chassis. Manufactured by Textron Land and Marine Systems.

It can seat a crew of 6 to 9, based on the equipment load. The Tiger's armor is designed to withstand ballistic threats and mine blasts. It has many add-on armor options, allowing  versatility in order to be tailored to different missions.

I have done quite a bit of customizing on this. The winch mounted on the front was built from scratch.

The Tiger is powered by a powerful Cummins 350 horsepower diesel engine, along with a wheel base of 127 inches and an advanced suspension system, it offers excellent off-road capabilities. It can carry a payload of 1.5 tons.

I always like adding a little mud to my off-road customs.

On top you see a spare tire, tool box, gear bag, recovery cable, and camouflage netting used to cover the vehicle when needed.

I added some little gem beads to the light bar. I think that looks cool.

Here is a link to a video of the tiger in action.  This makes a nice addition to my military collection. I think I will need to buy several more as I find them on the pegs.

Here are a few pictures of a Matchbox Frost Fighter Rescue vehicle. I just added a few details, like painting the lights and stuff in the roof rack. I also did some detail painting to the tracks. This is a cool vehicle to customize. It has lots of nice detail, and makes a great addition to your rescue vehicle collection. Not to mention, it makes for a great display piece.
