I have the water tanker built and primed in stages I had to order some red paint and dry transfers

I hope to be settled in my new place soon and building again.

Piotr

well... i'm going to do AFV club's Dodge WC56 truck... still haven't started anything though...

question: one of the campaign reqs is to include a picture of the actual vehicle. i can't find any pics of the WC56 in-action during the war, but i found some modern pics of restored vehicles... are they acceptable?

Yeah thats fine. I searched around myself and couldn't find anything in action.

Jeff

Here is a couple of pics of the WC56. The first shows vehicles ready to be loaded for overseas and the second one traveling through a bombed city in Europe WW2.

Roo to the rescue! I figured you might have some pics.

Jeff

Jeff my photo collection now just about fits on about 15 discs. The WW2 Dodge file is tied for second largest with GMC-CCKW's. The CMP (Canadian Military Pattern) truck file is the largest.

All ways happy to help if I can.

Cheers
Cliff

..thanks for the pics MrRoo! ..you saved the day!

Hay Jeff and All,

Starting my M984 wrecker tonight.I'm using the Italeri M978 fuel truck for the base(forgot I didn't have the M977 kit ) with the Hobby Fan wrecker conv., the Edward PH set for the M977(what I can use) and Real Models Good Year tires.All stuff I've had for some time just needed a reason to build it.

Has anyone get any tips when building this?

Jim

I am about 85% done needs weathering and decals etc.

I feel all inadequate now. Those trucks are all so much bigger than mine. I'm doing a humble Ford model T truck. Most of it's from RPM, I had to throw some bits away and add a few other bits but it's coming along okay. I have most of the paint done so it just needs weathering and final assembly.

I'm almost finished construction on a 1/48th bandai Kubelwagen.... not that bad of a kit considering it's what? 30 years old?

I finally got started on mine!!!

My lil' Jeep that's a pain in the .

good to see you joining us Steve.

Cheers
Cliff

I bet my truck is smaller. I'm just about at the painting stage for my Hasagawa 1/72 scale GMC-353 D 6x6 750-gallon capacity gasoline tank truck.

Hi Jeff

I'm not sure if you prefer the progress reported in an extra thread or here (please give me a hint)

I've started the Hummer and made some progress:







I had to relocate the back wall for the driving compartment to fit the wooden parts (compare pic 2 and 3).

All in all it is a nice little kit altough I'm not sure if the hood will fit ..

best wishes from Germany

Steffen

Jeff,

My GMC Tipper is back in progress. Just a few more little resin peices to put on and then its off to primer.

Regards
Matt

Gday

I got hold of a Italeri ZIS 5 but once i opened it it was terrible, panels were warped. i attempted to start it but lost interest real quick. even the engine parts didnt marry up good enough. i will decide on a suitable project soon.

free to good home 1X Italeri ZIS 5 kit opened and only thrown against wall once.

I've just started Bedford QL for my second entry

Piotr

I'am makeing only little progress. Most of the Autocar and the trailer is done. Currently, I'am struggling with the PE-part for the DUKW.

Happy Modelling
Harald

I'll make Krupp Protze (I bought the kit yesterday). I haven't stared yet but I hope I'll start tomorrow.
So far I've found few pics of Krupp Protze in the web but none of these represent vehicle proposed on decals sheet by Tamiya.

I have started Italeri´s water truck, and also using Eduard´s PE set. I have about 40% built so far ... but have not had any modelling time this last 3 weeks. Thankfully there is a good long build time!!
