This is the next kit to hit my bench... I was ready for more of a challenge then the basic car kits I have been building for a while! This has a ton of parts and photo etch!!! Hopefully I can bring it across the finish line in good shape! I'm going for a US Military Police Truck in France 1944.

Started working on the US Army truck... built some barrels and custom built a hose for one... started on the undercarriage also. Took a pic for you to see how small some of the parts really are, there are three of those little u-joints that are by the knife blade in that transfer case. This model came with little folding jigs for the photoetch. I showed one of those in the pics.

Lots of tiny little breakable rods are what drive me insane... you look at them and they break in half as you try to take them off the sprue and I end up glueing them together again...
