    good afternoon everybody the road work is looking better than I anticipated.… stones have been set and mortared in and the cleanup has begun. Once the mortar has dried. I’m hoping that some gray and black washes will color the white mortar.

        All your patience placing the stones has certainly paid off it looks great.

ID:	1224991Thank you everyone for your support on the cobblestone Road. I’ve decided to go a different route instead of adding the scout car. and of course, I was not satisfied with many of the kit parts so working on seats and some other added detail. Thanks again for watching.

                Joe I like the Blue shutters on the house and the Jeep is coming along nicely especially the details around the seats clever scratch work

                  just a quick update, the armor plating on the Jeep came together better than expected. After a few bends and dry fittings, everything fit well. Continuing to add some additional detail and soon it will be ready for paint. Thanks for watching and hope you all have a wonderful day.

                                Ok because there were 3 units (there were maybe more in other division but l don't know for sure) that used armored jeep...the 82nd airborne recon platoon with 50 cal recon jeep used in Normandy, Holland and the Bulge. The 9th infantry recon platoon that used twin bazookas during the Bulge. And last but not least 82nd recon of the 2nd armored but the armored jeep were not the one you are portraing...if you are interested l have some pics... have a nice day
