I have decided to change my entry. I want to build the Buffalo with slat armor. I should be ordering it, this week. Hope this is an acceptable entry.

Yep, it sure is! I was going that route but then I bought the 1/16 Trumpeter SU-100 so now I must build back up the cash stash.

Thanks, I made some progress tonight, and made a lot more then I thought I was going to make, and I was able to finish up this build.
And since I don't have any more space left in the gallery for anymore campaigns, I can't post the photos in the finished builds area. Thanks for looking and thanks for letting me take part in this campaign.

thanks guys, I really appreciate the feedback, this kit was a pain, and I don't think I would ever build one again, unless I needed one for a dio that was destroyed in some sort of battle.
the deck was warped, the frame rails were bowed. The cab was a pain, but I had too much time into it, to just "shelf" it.

I can't wait to see how that fuel tanker turns out, I have always wanted to build that kit, and I have even had it in my hand at the local hobby store, and always end up shelfing it for something else.

I enlisted earlier when the campaign started. I would like to know if I can combine two kits to make a "What If" truck or does it have to be an actual vehicle. I would like to combine an AMT fire truck with an American Industrial Truck Models B60 Mack cab kit

There is certainly NO RESTRICTIONS on kit bashing at all, even a 'what if' truck as long as it's a truck and it serves a purpose as a truck was intended for.

Quick update.
We had a couple of good weather days so I managed to get some paint on the Studebaker...well at least the cab and rear fenders. Masked off the glass. Shot it with a pale yellow. I was trying to match a similar color I had seen on some Studebakers from the period.
Anyway, I'll be shifting gears to the working side of the vehicle...the bed. I'm probably going to go with a log truck. I think that'll go with the style of rear fenders better than adding a flatbed and some sort of crane boom. Depending on how it looks, I might switch to a tanker design.

I guess its time got started on my build. I will be a kitbash using an AMT American Lafrance pumper kit and an American Industrial Models Mack B Series cab and engine.The AMT is a plastic model while the American Industrial models are resin kits with white metal parts.

Jeff, I'm interested to see that one build up. I almost went with that one for the Active Duty Campaign but decided to use the smaller PLA launcher with the "jeep" instead.

Right Alex!
Start time either tomorrow or Thursday. I had a bunch of things to do around the house here before I set out again so play time will come later! (at least I hope so)

I have started to mockup m entry. The green painters tape works okay to hold the subassemblies in place to see how they will
look. It also makes it easier to line up the front axle.
I haven,t decided if I will use Navy or Civilian markings
