After finding a set of inspirational photos on the web I decided to try my luck at duplicating this truck in 1/87 scale. The actual vehicle is a Ford V 3000 except for one thing, It has a long wheel base and tandem rear axles. The caption alluded to a captured vehicle in the "Low Countries" that was in the process of being converted into a special purpose truck. Either compressor or in my opinion,![P1010876.JPG P1010876.JPG](https://www.scale-models.co.uk/data/attachments/201/201034-98af4a66e51a1d8f083ec84c95373665.jpg)

perhaps some sort of generator. I'm not going to share the reference photos until I have finished this build as I don't want to prejudice anyone's opinion while it is under construction. So, at the end will be the unveiling of both the completed model and the prototype. Rather sneaky of me, Here's what I have done so far. Cheers, Rick H.
