    Dodge WC51.........Skybow 1/35

    Next thing on the bench

    Skybow ended up being bought out by afv club

    Not sure yet how it will end up cos i have these trailers....the cargo one is actually from the 50s and 60s but im not that picky......might do the trailer full of jerry cans and a couple of oil drums in the back of the WC

    I built a Skybow kit and it was pretty good. Unusual subject.

              The dirty bits look very well detailed. Nice.

                This is going together nicely considering they were a new company when it came out

                    Water tank is closest to WC period and a common combination in HQ sections.

                        Currently on hold for a week

                        Forgot to take picks but decals are on and then gave it an oil wash so it needs a while to dry

                          Current state of play

                          Had a matt coat then a muddy dust wash to tone things down

                          Next step is some assembly then work out which trailor and cargo to use
