Default Tactcal body really needs a gun turret on top.

Been planning on picking up a new body for my rig but not sure which direction to go in yet.
When I first seen the Tactical unit I was thinking EWWWW, but, hitting it with a couple coats of flat clear would help drastically. That shine just kills it for me.
Now if I were to get that body and paint it up in a desert tan and find someone to print up a mini-gun turret for the roof I'd be all in.

Wonder if Bowhouse or Knight Customs would consider printing up ?

This would be killer sitting on top. There is room to inset it into the roof.

I know it would add weight up high just sitting here thinking, whats your thoughts ?

I would wager there's already something like this available somewhere. shapeways has some stuff, this is meant for a Tamiya a 1/16 scale turret
look through the 5000+ military models, you may find something
I'm not really a fan of this body, but you're right the shiny paint job does detract a lot from the "tactical looks"

I too am looking for a turret for my tactical unit.
I have seen many videos with movable turrets, and
I think they look sweet with a turret.
