little Q about the the V3000 maultier, were there any in Africa corps?

I would have it tow a Pak 7.5cm gun, how and with what should I "fill" the cargo area, ammo of course, but how many crates, did they put barrels with fuell in the same cargobay? were waterbarrels common on individual vehicles?
how should I make the canvas holdingbars? with or without the horizontal wood planking?

According to this thread, the Ford Maultier was apparently not used in North Africa...

You're welcome

Here's an interesting camo (obviously not on the Italian front though...)



You'll find a few more pics here

what would I be without you

thanks a lot, saw some features I'm gonna do on my ICM build
though build with my big fingers and them small parts, specially the removal of the tracks (broke some) and the misalignment with the enginemounts and bulkheads
since my imageshack account got too small I'm lookin for another way to get some buildpics up
