This will be my Remembrance Group Build for Cliff, Zod and Carl, all great armor modelers on OSM who left us way too soon!!!
I will be building a diorama depicting the Rat Patrol from the TV show of that name... I will be using the following kits, two Tamiya 1/35th scale Willy's Jeeps, a Dragon Allied Force Figure set and an MB Allied Force Figure Set as well to scratch build the four main characters of the show... Sgt. Sam Troy, Sgt. Jack Moffitt, Pvt. Mark Hitchcock and Pvt. Tully Pettigrew. Some sand dunes might make an appearance as a base like in the show opener of them jumping over them. Time will tell.

I'm in. Planning on a 1/72nd USAAC 8th AF diorama incorporating one or more planes plus ground crew and vehicles, possible buildings. More as I begin to flesh this one out.

Started on the modification of Sgt. Jack Moffitt the British officer in the group. I am using an old Tamiya Jeep to make sure they will fit in the new ones I will be building... of course they will have radios and gear around them so you won't see much of their legs once installed....

These figures look good Joe, it's quite a task to modify them. I like the idea.

Pvt. Mark Hitchcock was made from 4 different kits to get the basic shape, he will be driving one of the new Jeeps...
