Cesar,
Well done. I really like the jeep. The details really make it pop. The figures are good also. My only criticism would be the oil drum. It really looks out of place. Perhaps replacing the drum with some dead palm fronds or small rocks. Again, great work!

Many thanks John. No problem...I'm just a humble modeler.

Looks good overall. The only issue I e is the C-Rations box. One it is way too big; about 3 ti,es as large as it should be. Second, Brits had their own rations and didn't use US C-Rations. Other than that, it looks good.

Nice build and nice weathering. The Legend update sets nice to work with as is the Black Dog one having used both. The amount of stuff left over is unreal even after filling the jeep. My only criticisms would be that the crew look incredibly clean in comparison to the jeep with their bright white gloves and spotless uniforms. Also as Gino pointed out the C ration box is not only huge but wouldn't have been used. I know we as a nation have a reputation as "Borrowers" on the battlefield but US rations wouldn't have been available at that time due to the fact that America didn't participate in the Western Desert campaign. The US didn't get involved in the North African campaign until the final phase in 1943 with the invasion of French North Africa. As space was short for a fighting/recce patrol with ammo and water being vitally important they wouldn't have carried that much in the way of rations. Maybe a haversack full, not a box that looks like it would feed a company LOL. Overall though I like it. Nice job.

I thank the informations about de WWII british and american rations.
I am a humble modeler and build my kits with effort. I enjoy sharing ideas and learn with others.
