Now this kit comes with a driver but it appears he's American but Italieri have kindly supplied a berry and British helmet to change him , well I suppose it saves them making a new figure View attachment 88831

[Guest]

Looking forward to the build, as i have one in the stash. I plan to make it into SAS Jeep North Africa

 

[Alan 45]

Cheers Leo , I would have done the same with the jeep if I hadn't got these figures

 

[Alan 45]

I've decided to make a start on the base , this will be a simple affair with just some light ballast for the ground and then covered on baking soda to give the appearance of Tarmac

I've put the glass on top of the frame to give me a squarer and tidier edge View attachment 88837

I've finally. Been able to make a start on this
The base just needs painting and I've made a start on the mini bikes but because I'm now using my blackberry you can't really see the PE spokes and chain

Alan, as you could be converting the jeep to British Airborne, you might find these of use....I took them at the Airborne Museum @ Pegasus Bridge
