Thank you gentlemen. Figs & camo next. Out of edibles, you'll have to settle for chocolate chunk cookies. PaulE

Chaos, Genius, and Chocolate Chunk Cookies... sounds like a great book! The comm trucks look good so far, can't wait to see them painted up. I seem to remember a plate or two in Panzer Colors with this or a similar vehicle.

Thanks PJR, I'll take a look. PaulE

Nice work Paul. Will much of the interior be seen at the end?? ie open rear doors

[minitnkr]

Thanks Steve. You'll see the field telephone version has a hinged rear door & I've cut away the glazing for the side doors so you should be able to see the crew at work. The radio version is set up to be on the move so rear door closed, but windows open.
Dzohn, I'll bet the scale lumber caught your eye. PaulE

Progressing now after holidays. Changing heads on figs to w/headphones for commo guys. Cookies consumed, only sponge candy left.

That will look real nice with the back doors open and the guys at the switchboard.:thumb2: We little guys don't get much of a chance to show off interior details and the like. In our scale they're pretty much invisible . BTW it was Roco that made a P38 lightning as well as a Stuka G, F4 E Phantom, Ju 52 and numerous helicopters. Sadly they are no longer available. Have you tried evil bay?
Cheers, Rick H.

Thanks. Yes, all are available there but the one I want. ArsenalM makes a pretty Mustang also. I may have to settle for it. PaulE

Would a DC3 work? I have decals to covert it to a C-47 it’s a Revell kit with microscale decals it’s 1/90 scale but looks well with HO 1/87

Only straightleg GIs & wanted P-38 for GB & low flying recon over large dio, so C-47 won't work. Thank you though. PaulE

[Lee Drennen]

Ok if ever do need one I have several

Hi Paul
Modelling is great especially at the scale you work in. Looking at your bench I'm amazed you can keep track of all the bits! Greedy lot following your work.

Thanks. More progress on radio van, final paint, windshield wipers, decals & weathering to follow.

Paul, love the way you load these rigs up with troops and equipment. I don't have the manpower or material to do this presently. Great result looking forward to seeing it all come together.:thumb2:
