like the sound of this one will do a Vietnam Jeep Ford mutt and trailer



Hi Keith,

Great choice, don't see many Vietnam subjects!

Hi Philip,

Signed up.

Options for this one are:

Austin 10hp Light Utility
Humber 8cwt 4 x 4 GS
Bedford QLR
Fordson WOT3
Fordson E83W Mobile Canteen
Austin K2/Y Ambulance

Got a couple of CMP conversions to do 158" and 134" but will wait out on those to see what IGB come up with.

Al



A very decent selection to choose from Alan! If you decide to do the Austin K2/Y I could pop down to RAF Hendon to get some photos if required! Personally I'd be very tempted to do the Mobile canteen!

Thanks,
Philip.

Hi Phillip,

Got a fairly good set for the KY/2 last year at Duxford, at least I think it was Duxford lol, lol.

I tried taking some pics of the one in Hendon but the light is really bad there for pictures.

Thanks anyway, but don't go out of your way.

Yes I found that too, especially in the bomber hall.

I have been thinking about having a go at a War Office Pattern 1920 Crossley

25/30 hp Tender in either the Free State (Irish) Army or the Royal Ulster

Constabulary colours and markings and this seems a good place to do it .

Decisions decisions decisions!

I'm going to build a Tamiya 1/35 Kubelwagon. I've had it in the stash for ages along with an M3 half-track.

Kubelwagon it is!

Count me in! Soft skins are a lot of fun I think.
I guess I should start writing down the campaigns I'm signed up for as I don't know of a "what I'm signed up for" list anywhere on here.

That would be nice. However I use excel and project to make a program and that works fine for me

When you visit the Campaigns page, there should be a small icon next to the campaigns you have signed up for.

I'm liking the Austins and Humber, but the Mobile Canteen sounds interesting as well. Can't go wrong with any of your choices mate

Jeremy,
Looks like it was a soft skin to me

http://www.primeportal.net/trucks/jeremy_wee/1941_chevy_gun_tractor/

I'm gonna roll here with Tamiyas Steyr Type 1500A Kommandeurwagen in 1/35. I may do it in a Winter Camo Scheme to match the Flakvierling that I'll be doing for the Targets That shoot Back Campaign.
