That does look good

Ah, sorry Mac - I meant the Sdkfz 222 4X4 armoured car.
Annoying when they reuse the same number designation.

Sorry my mistake for not reading your previous messages.

All good, I do the same thing myself; repeatedly...

You could always try adding the wings & tail assembly of a Bv.222 to a SdKfz.222

Nicely done with the Big Bad Buff & it's little friends!

Great job on the B-52 and the scratch-built X-15s. I was trying to figure out who made a kit of the X-15 in 1/200 before I read the text.

Thanks, folks.

1/72 GMC SWB 2 ½ ton truck **Real World**

One of these showed up at one of the Armistice in Cambridge reenactment weekends I went to, and I thought it would be a pretty quick and easy conversion (it was), resulting in something a bit different.

Based on a Hasegawa Long Wheelbase GMC.

I cut the chassis short, as well as the rear tray. This was a bit fraught, as the side planking was a bit delicate, but I managed not to break any pieces.
I scratchbuilt a new, transverse fuel tank and found a couple of spare wheels and placed them in scratchbuilt carriers, to go on top of the tank.

Paint is Gunze OD and Tyre Black. Transfers were applied and then I gave it a dirtying down. Markings from the Kit, IIRC.

References were the Bart Vanderveen book and issues of Tankette magazine.

Very nice work mate ..im a fan of the short wheelbase duce and a half mainly because there's so many LWB models out there 😀
So any version on the SWB  I like 👍

I wanted to build a crane version on a SWB duce and then remembered I ain't got one 😁

Neat one Rick

Nice piece of work there, mate!
