Hi all,

I started Miniman Factories M1009 CUCV kit. By the way, one of the coolest 1/35 scale kit I´ve ever seen, kudos to Gabor Fodor!
I plan to build a vehicle in service with the US Military Police, with radio set.
Have these vehicles ever used with K-9 dog teams? Since I usually build my models of USAREUR units, markings of a Germany based unit would be helpful.
I hope for your cooperation!

Hey Hans-Hermann,

Check out this You Tube video of a restored CUCV in MP markings...

The kit does look very nice....hopefully they come out with more NATO soft skin vehicles.

Shouldn't "Military police" rather be stenciled on the door (as per the TM ?) :

Hi Jason, Hi Henri-Pierre,

thank you for your efforts, a good start. I think I must go deep in my unsorted
photo stash, something in the back of my mind tells me that there must be some Blazer pics lurking.
