Howdy Mike,
First, a warm welcome to the site! Glad you found us.
Now, to your question.....
"...What are softskin models?..."
They are those artificially skinny gals who do the 'Oil of Olay' commercials.........

softskined vehicles are normally the 'B' echalon vehicles of the army. For example supply and troop trucks which were built without armor, in other words more or less the trucks that you see delivering goods to the local store.
Also included are staff cars, motorbikes and even bicyles and trailers.
Hope this helps
PS> please ignore Tread's reply as I believe it is more the bikini clad beauties down at the beach :-) :-) :-)

I happen to like anything from wwII with wheels or is half wheeled so having said that I tend to lump everything wheeled into softskins and that includes halfts,for me it makes everything easier to seperate,armour-tracked,softskins-wheeled.
Oh,and welcome Mike.
Oh,and welcome Mike.

Tsk Tsk Tread and here you show your ignorance of Australian softskins again. During WW2 over half our fleet were left hand drive lendlease vehicles and here in Australia most were driven by 'LADY' drivers where as most of the American owned ones were driven by 'Marines' LOL :-) :-) :-)
So I guess you could say that maybe our 'LADIES' are the equivalent of your 'MARINES' and if that is the case us 'MEN' are better then our 'LADIES' so what does that tell you :-) :-) :-) :-)
cheers Roo

Point taken good SIR.
Which actually brings up an interesting query....
I'm assuming the 'left-hand drive' vehicles you speak of were used overseas? If so, then that would make sense, wouldn't it?
If not, and if they were used instead 'at-home', then there must be an extraordinarily high ratio of ambidextrous Aussie's floating around your 'Baby Boomer' population.......huh?
Tread.
Oh.....and just so's the point is not lost....in my early youth, please remember, I grew up with right-hand drive in England.

Tread on a serious note here we accually used LHD Studebaker 6X6, GMC-CCKW 6X6, Mark NO and NR's, and Diamond T wreckers and tank transporter tractor units right up to the early '60's here in Australia. So I was not refering to overseas vehicles but vehicles here in Australia.
Now Mike's thread has been hi-jacked enough with this
line of posts (but you can start another if you like )
