          Hi Lee, The only versions I have seen of the G-8-T in the Wehrmacht were 3 ton cargo trucks....usually tarped, but some with open beds. If you wanted to stretch the frame and scratch a bed for it, you would have a perfect candidate for a tissue paper tarp. :thumb2: Rick H.

            Thanks Rick. I have a old Heller 1/72 Opel Blitz frame and bed I was going to use and try the tissue trick. Will that frame work?

                Here is my Russian Zis 5 and trailer....the Krauts were in such a hurry to use it they just threw a set of number plates on it and draped an aerial rec. flag over the hood to keep the "buzzards" away. Click image for larger version

                  Nice combo Rick. I always like how you make the flags over the hoods

                      Wish I could master the art of getting the flag to look more natural.........would really like to get some ripples or waves into it so as not to look so "Rectangular". Thank you Lee.......and Paul, once you get that French Taxi (Citroen) finished up, it would be a candidate for this thread as well.
