Lee Drennen’s 1/72 German Captured Ford G8TA Cargo Truck.

[Lee Drennen]

Going to try to pull this off a PST Ford G8TA using a Heller/Airfix Opel Blitz chassis and running gear for a captured German truck. I’m using the single axle frame the for another build so I was left with the cab and complements.

Frame is ready to be lengthened. I’ll straighten up the pintle hook later.

Hi Lee
An interesting build. I hope you don't run into too many fit issues putting the two kits together. So far it looks spot on.

Nice one Lee! Been following with interest as usual - 1/87 is definitely far too small a scale for me! Hats off to you!
