Status: offline 		So we have 1/16 scale tanks and half tracks but what other 1/16 WW2 vehicles do you own, this is my 1/16 scale 1940’s GMC army truck, it was once a dump truck but with a few alterations and a bit of time this is the end result and it looks great next to the Sherman, so what do you have next to your tanks, pics please.

Status: offline 		Glad to see there are a lot of hours going into these trucks and they look great for it. I like to think i am a handy modeller but i would not know where to start on a scratch built model or converting to R/C i am very impressed.

Wozwasnt, i got the model from Ebay, it is a 1/16 diecast truck made by GMP, so it has a very high standard finish and great detail, i got it from the U.S so with the shipping it cost me about £40 BARGAIN

Here's some more pics

Status: online 		Great weathering Job there. Firefly! (Looks just like the Army Truck we rode back from the firing range in...We had to "wash it down" with a Firehose! ) My Cargo Truck was really more of a "kit bash" than a full-on "scratch" build.

BTW....Has anybody out there tried to scratchbuild a Daimler "Dingo" Scout Car in 1/16 scale ???

Status: offline 		Hi guys.
One of my unfinished prodjects is a 1/16 DUKW. I've come to a bit of a halt with it as I'm struggling to find suitabe wheels for it!
regarding the dingo , I think it would be quite straight forward as they seem to be made up of flat panels, again there is the wheel issue though.
regards
Frank

i saw a programme on the history channel recently that said the DUKW body was placed on the chassis of a US GMC 4x4 truck.

thats correct, but shelling out 40 odd quid just to get some wheels would send the wife ballistic!!!!
