Any Venezuelan Armor Enthusiasts Here?

I used to work down in Venezuela, from 1994 thru 1997. In the town of Maturin, there was a central park that had a couple of military items on display. One was what appeared to be a half-track with a turret from one of the "hound" series armored cars. Alas, I had no camera with me. Anyone here can check this out for me?

Hi Tank Lord!

Here is a picture that was forwarded to me by Costas Tsaganas Thessaloniki of Greece. Looks like he found what you are looking for.
Correction: June 14, 2008, Photo came from Costas Tsaganas OF Thessaloniki in Greece. Sorry Costas.

That's it's! Even the crazy paint scheme is there, just wish I could remember the colors. Thanks Roy! _________________ The only thing to do when a son-of-a-bitch looks cross-eyed at you is to beat the hell out of him right then and there

Now for the turret, homebuilt, or robbed off another vehicle? The colors, if I remember right were all glossy, a dark brown, fade lemon yellow, and medium shade of green. _________________ The only thing to do when a son-of-a-bitch looks cross-eyed at you is to beat the hell out of him right then and there
