This may be of interest to some, although the scale will, I imagine, put many off:

One 1/24th Battle Of The Bulge era armored Jeep.

You can create the same thing in 1/35th by taking a Jeep kit (or, if you prefer, a WWII American 1/4-ton 4x4 Light Utility Vehicle, or whatever they're now calling the kit to avoid saying "Jeep") of your choice, and Aber PE set 35A57, which not only provides the armor plate but a nice little PE radio set and PE snow chains for the wheels, for those suffering from Advanced Masochis....er, Modeler Syndrome.

Note that under Pat's guidelines, you're only allowed to discuss the middle third of the vehicle, since the rest is technically a softskin
