I spotted one of these Shovels several years ago, under construction on another Forum, by a current member of this forum. I was very intrigued and sought out some of the components required for such an endeavor. As stated in my earlier post in "What's on the bench 2022", I had the luxury of watching Mr. Eberle build one of these first........mine will not be a "carbon copy" but there will be common components with some subtle differences. I will be using components of three different models in order to produce a "reasonable" facsimile of the original as used by the U.S. Army Engineering Battalions during WWll. The chassis is from a ROCO Minitanks Honest John missile launcher I played with as a young teen. The cab is from another ROCO model; Corbitt prime mover and lastly the shovel itself, a small rendering from Wiking, it came as part of a demolished building kit I bought for my first Diorama, some years ago. First is a pic of what the actual shovel looked like then some pics of the basic models I will be using to complete the build. Enjoy........oh, and before anyone says anything , yes......the operators cab on the shovel is on the wrong side. Not sure what to do about that (if anything)......still mulling it over.
