    Started messing with this bus, I think it's going to be a candidate for the German Medical Corps. It's actually quite a rare vehicle being a Saurer BT4500....These were appropriated by the Wehrmacht to fill the need for Personel Transport. It only took four soakings in the Scalecoat ll Wash...

    Bulldog Tractor Wehrmacht Tow Vehicle

    This was a quick little project, some detailing, painting and headlight lenses and all done. The trailer was done a few years back. It represents the standard 3 ton units used extensively by the German army.

    While waiting for the Geeks to fix my c'puter so I could load pics, I started building a couple of 5-6 tonners for an upcoming scene I want to create on the "Tokyo Express" (Ledo Road) for the CBI theater.

    After the decal work on the fuel truck, trailer and jeep I've been having a look at how this is all going to look on the dio. Still have all the figs. to paint up and then stage the scene. I am not taken with the runway surface and will be trying a different topping.

    Right ...........so here we are again, much has happened since the last update. Broke the starboard wing off while trying to clamp the lid down on this miscreant! Up to that point I was getting on fairly well, with much detail painting out of the way and final assembly of the interior...

    Rick's 1-87 Scale ROCO Ju-52m Medical Transport

    Been awhile since my last update.......not much to report. There is so much wrong with this kit I keep going backwards. I found great big lips on all three engine cowls and got those filled and sanded, along with all the joints on the #2 engine exhaust. Finished the upper cargo door and test...

    I'm not making any promises here but, I have had this kit for over 25 years and have always had it in my mind to build it someday. However, it is a Vacu-formed hull and white metal details.
