That will look real nice with the back doors open and the guys at the switchboard.:thumb2: We little guys don't get much of a chance to show off interior details and the like. In our scale they're pretty much invisible . BTW it was Roco that made a P38 lightning as well as a Stuka G, F4 E Phantom, Ju 52 and numerous helicopters. Sadly they are no longer available. Have you tried evil bay?
Cheers, Rick H.

Thanks. Yes, all are available there but the one I want. ArsenalM makes a pretty Mustang also. I may have to settle for it. PaulE

Would a DC3 work? I have decals to covert it to a C-47 it’s a Revell kit with microscale decals it’s 1/90 scale but looks well with HO 1/87

Only straightleg GIs & wanted P-38 for GB & low flying recon over large dio, so C-47 won't work. Thank you though. PaulE

Hi Paul
Modelling is great especially at the scale you work in. Looking at your bench I'm amazed you can keep track of all the bits! Greedy lot following your work.

Paul, love the way you load these rigs up with troops and equipment. I don't have the manpower or material to do this presently. Great result looking forward to seeing it all come together.:thumb2:

Thank you. A tough fit, as these trucks are smaller (in 1:1) than you think. Kind'a like the 250s. I've gotten used to the big & roomy US trucks. The Chech Tatras are bigger, but rare in my scale. PaulE

Terrific progress Paul. Looks like it has turned out really well. Will there be a new base for this lot??

PJR, thanks for looking. Rick, 1st photo gave you a bit of a peek. I'll try for a better one. Steve, thanks, these will be parceled out to various arty units & no doubt will appear somewhere, sometime, on some base. Thank you Scottie. PaulE

I just love seeing the bench, the joys of delight and relieve when you eventually find that missing piece are something our tidy bench club members can never acheive .:smiling2::smiling2:
