I was inspired by Airfix' 1/76 offering, and made these
http://nowhand.topcities.com/AEC.html.
They are 3d models, done in VRML, each below 40 kb in filesize. I opted for five militairy and five post war civillian versions.
to see them in 3d, you need to have a VRML browser ( like BS contact or Cortona ) installed. Once you do, PM me and I will send the VRML files to you.
