Hello folk.
I first of all wish to thank Staff Jim for setting this up for us. By Us I mean all those truck modelers out there.
This forum has a few simple rules.
A/ any era, any type of softskin vehicle originally built as a cargo or personnel vehicle. (this includes civilian style trucks as well but not cars)
B/ must have at least 2 wheels. (normal phumatic or solid rubber tyres. (horse drawn wagons are excempt from this rule on the type of tyre)
Hopefully here we will be able to post questions and answers about our favourite trucks and other related vehicles.
So welcome and I hope you all will join me in making this forum the best on the web for trucks.
Thanks

Congrats my friend.

I was wondering if something like this would ever happen! The idea that we are putting our truck questions (especially with the Move It campaign) in the Armor/AFV section (exempting the Campaign Central posts for Move It) didn't make much sense given that trucks (Guntrucks excluded) are called soft-skinned for a reason (still not sure, can anyone enlighten me?

) Anyway, good luck with this forum and I definitely hope to see this grow.
