PMV-M Bushmaster [Ambulance]
The Bushmaster is an Australian PMV (Protected Mobility Vehicle) manufactured and built by Thales. It's primarily in use by Australia, United Kingdom, Japan and New Zealand military forces. Multiple variations of the Bushmaster exist, this one being the Ambulance for recovery and treatment of injured military personnel. The vehicle was designed with a V-Shaped hull to be able to withstand and deflect blasts.
This Bushmaster was a small passion project of mine and I've focused on making it insanely accurate to the smallest details including height, length, width, design and interior.
[START-UP}
Just like the actual thing it's a three-step startup.
1. Battery Keys (Located at the front inside)
- CRANK = Enables the Two crank batteries for ignition and general vehicle power
- PARALLEL = Enables the alternator to charge the Two radio batteries, Crank and Radio power sharing, aswell as enabling power in the passenger area (Not Necessary for Ignition)
- RADIO = Enables the radio batteries powering the Antenna's outside. Without PARALLEL enabled these batteries will drain.
2. Ignition Switch (Located at the driver's seat)
3. Start Switch (Same Location)
