Yes it was a 2 1/2 ton tuck at first, in the early 1968 period. The truck was assigned to the 444th Trans company of the 8th Group, 24th Trans Bn. It was a sister truck to the Nancy quad 50 truck during the same time period. I will try to find out the company truck number.

Whats the scoop on the campaign? Is it over? Extension? Dead in the water? Reason I am asking is I haven't seen many posts from Greenhornet2, the person who started this campaign. I'll pm him and see what the story is. Was there a ribbon designed for the campaign? Last I saw somebody proposed the Vietnam Service or SEA ribbon for it ( I forget what the award was called). I would go with that as it is distinct. Anyway, just checking in. "Q"

Hey Nick,
Pics didn't come thru in the post, but the links worked for them. Good looking build. Make sure to post a pic or two over in the gallery section for the campaign. You can find it on Aeroscale where the campaign originated. Thanks for posting your work. "Q"

Looking forward to see more

Hmmm, would be nice if he were to touch base with the rest of the group. The campaign was to have ended on the 1st. I've PM'd him about the status of the campaign, posted to both forums (Aeroscale and Armorama) and have heard nothing. When did you speak with him? "Q"

All, I got a PM form Seth, our campaign leader. He has been out of the loop as it were due to a stint in and out of the hospital. That being in said, I am going to take over the reigns from here to help him get this baby completed, and give him a break soas to recover. Command decision time... To those that have completed the campaign at this point, I will get the ribbons posted to you as soon as I can. To those that need and extention, consider it granted. I'll push you to the right to 1 March since this is a short month, to get your builds in. Is everybody alright with that? SPeak now or forever hold your yap... Back soon. Thanks, "Q"

Hey all, bet you're getting tired of seeing me huh? lol. Just found out that I cannot award the ribbons until after the campaign closes. Since I extended it to the first, we gotta wait til then. My apologies as I didn't realize that was the deal. OK, that's about it, get back to work. "Q"

Hello
I've just added some pic's of my Vietnam Chaffee into the gallery.
Will eventually add it to a diorama which at the moment is going nowhere as stuck converting the crew figure's.
At least I've finished my tank for the campaign.
Have enjoyed taking part, there are some interesting builds.
Well done everyone.

Howdy all. We are just a couple weeks out from the finale. How is everybody doing with their builds? I checked the gallery and we are 8 out of 29 entered so I guess it isn't too bad. I've seen better, and I've seen worse If you finish, don't forget to post your completed pics in the gallery. How about a sitrep? (Situation Report) Thanks, "Q"
