It's been a long time since I've finished and posted anything, so here's my latest finished model.
It's a 1/35th scale conversion for an "AN/TPS-2 radio jeep"
I used the Trakz Willy's jeep photo etched set #0058, an old sheet of SMA decals #048 for markings, and my first venture into dry transfers using Archer Jeep instruments and placards set AR35241. These I applies using Archers wet transfer paper.

Hi Dave,
Looks excellent. Know what you mean abotu finishing stuff
The Archers transfers look good, I had though of using them for my jeeps, but never had much success turning them into the 'wet'.
This is an interesting looking vehicle. Great level of detail you have going on.

Looks as if you did a very good job on this diminutive model (in 1/35th terms), it's good to see the eyes are still working.

Hi Dave. Very cool little model. Something different as well ... have never seen this modelled before. Lots of fine detail ... the archer decals look great and left the detail level a lot. Wouldn´t fancy taking this to a show though.

Great Job Dave!
Very unusual subject - I love those. It does feel good to wrap something up!

Excellent work Dave.
That antenna looks like a fiddly so and so.

Looks really nice. I can't begin to imagine how delicate and fiddly the assembly was.
