The Desert Fox is one of the coolest vehicles in the entire line. Though there is not really a real world counter part, it's not that unrealistic. I felt it was lacking a bit on the detail, so I decided to give it a desert camo pattern. I figure it would be used as an advanced scout vehicle, so having the heavy machine gun and the radio/computer makes sense. I imagine Dusty and Mojave running around in this thing out in the desert for weeks at a time, giving it a bit of their own customization, so I added the "Flint" decal from the SkyStriker to the hood and on the back.
Mojave (Mo-hav-ee) is simply renamed Dusty v3. I did repaint his pupils though. The red eyes were just...disturbing.

I like that camo pattern. The Desert Fox always was a little plain. That really gives it some character

This looks pretty cool and now with Characters like Night Fox you can add a full crew compliment

I love the desert fox and added the chocolate chip camo pattern makes it even cooler. The only thing I might have done is to change the orange with a shade of brown.

I love the Desert Fox and this looks really good!

Like Pluv mentioned, the only thing I would change is painting the missiles and the turret. Brown or a gunmetal gray would be could be cool for the turret.

I love the camo you painted on this. The Desert Fox was/is a great vehicle, and this is a nice upgrade. However, I agree that the orange should go, but would like to add that I think the vehicle would be over the top with matching camo on the wheels/rims... That would send this to a whole new level of cool, at least in my opinion!

Camo is fantastic.
And I never would have noticed on my own, but Shakka is right, painting the rims would make this thing stellar.

Great work here. I love the Desert Fox too, but now mine feels inadequate. Also, the Flint Skystriker sticker pops where it is.

I agree the orange needs to be changed & something done with the wheels. Maybe painting them like Tsunami mentioned or adding some styrene wheel covers or center caps. Excellent upgrades though & the Flint decals really add some character.

I'd soften the orange and battle damage it up a bit... otherwise, really beautiful custom.
