Thanks Joe, I'm thinking I might need to remove the steering wheel and put a longer column in as it looks far too low

Just clip it off and add a slightly larger piece of sprue to represent the housing it sits on and it will look better and gain the height needed...

Sweet little Jeep, I remember seeing it in the background when you started the Kubelwagen.
Good idea to moving the steering wheel.
What brand kit were they?

Sweet little Jeep, I remember seeing it in the background when you started the Kubelwagen. Good idea to moving the steering wheel. What brand kit were they? Jim Hi Jim the two plus a Kettenkraftrad came as a set by Academy Hobby Model Kit, quite basic but can look good with extras and painting. They come with a collection of Jerrycans,oil drums and wooden crates, nice little extras to be honest. There are even clear bits like a bonnet for the jeep so you can see the engine,likewise for the Kubelwagen and Kettenkraftrad. I can't remember what I paid but they are worth what it was!! Thanks for looking |

What did you dilute it with? Normal tap water Joe, I know it's not one of the medium normally mentioned in the mags etc but it works,the thickness can be varied and of course it's cheap!! |

Many thanks. Joe I used PVE mixed with used coffee granules in the past and that gives great results

That is a cool idea, used tea leaves do the same thing... |
