    Lee Drennen’s 1/72 German Captured Ford G8TA Cargo Truck.

    Going to try to pull this off a PST Ford G8TA using a Heller/Airfix Opel Blitz chassis and running gear for a captured German truck. I’m using the single axle frame the for another build so I was left with the cab and complements.

      Hi Lee
      An interesting build. I hope you don't run into too many fit issues putting the two kits together. So far it looks spot on.

            Looking good Lee, hope it doesn't prove too troublesome a build process.

                              Thanks Rick. The frame is cut into and I repositioned the front and rear wheels letting them set up good before moving on.
