US WWII Combat Engineer Units

Glad you managed it though. The only thing I have that comes close to that is an M62 wrecker and four or five Corbits.

Corbits are great. In my engineer world, if a dump truck ain't doinit,' a Corbit/Brockway is. M62s by ROCO often had Corbit/Brockway cabs for some reason. I would grab these up when I could for the cabs, long wheelbase frames, winches, O&A tanks & flatbeds as donor parts for my engineers & recovery/evac. elements.

Paul,
My apologies I have missed this up till now. Another great collection of vehicles on an excellent base.

Paul,

Thanks for sharing the background to this. I was going to ask but you beat me to it.

I always realised it was a labour of love of some sort but having the family connection makes it all the more understandable.

Keep up the great work.

Hi Paul
The background story was interesting. Nice work and as always scratching at this scale needs patience and skill - not to mention good eyesight.

Adding some final details before adding registration # & bumper decals.

Looking really fine Paul. While we make vehicles, you make whole units……
