Merry Christmas PaulE

Thanks gents. It's supposed to be a field telephone exchange from Trident, Rick. I've removed the two wings to be repositioned. Meant to be a 251/11 conversion. It will have a radio set & writing table attached to it's forward face.
And a Merry Christmas to ya'll. PaulE

Paul,
Count me in mate. I don't care if its a cookie or a biscuit as long as it has chocolate on it lol. Have a great Christmas.

Looking good Paul. Hope the fat guy with the beard was good to you and glad you're gang building a pair of com truck instead of one.
I have a couple of these myself but haven't decided yet what I will do with them. Will be following closely.
