Another collection of small scale vehicles Paul? Looking very nice too, did I see a sdkfz 250/9 in one of the photos? Sneak that one on the dio with the LAVs, see if anyone notices. :rolling:

 

[minitnkr]

Thanx guys. Graeme, the 250/9 by Trident is here if time allows. It'd complete my German Light Type "C" Recon Company. PaulE

 

[minitnkr]

Slooowly progressing.

C&Cs welcomed. PaulE

Paul,
I'm worried about you, you are far to organised lol.

Getting there Paul, will these get the standard hairy stick cammo or did you have something else in mind?

Thanx for the comments. These elements are to complete the existing USMC HQ & HW platoon elements painted in basic sand as they're early builds pre-upgrade. PaulE

 

[minitnkr]

Two color field camo maybe. PaulE

 

[Mini Me]

Nice.

 

[minitnkr]

Trying to find Simon T's LAV-R for crane hose routing. Pad eyes & L's small crane to go, Paint 2 color field applied camo for all, then integrate into unfinished dio. '1/87 USMC Recon Elements on the March'.
LAV-M & AT.

LAV-L & R

C&Cs encouraged. PaulE

Paul,
Looking very good. I particularly like the engineering version.

 

[minitnkr]

Thanks guys. The USMC LAV-R is somewhat unique as it is designed to recover other LAVs (like the Bergepanther it has a huge internal winch) & assist in field automotive maint. Typical engineering tasks are left to the Army or Navy as the USMC no longer supports an engineering MOS & concentrates on shooters. PaulE

 

[minitnkr]

A test fit of new LAVs. Thinking these two colors for field camo or upper four LAV's base color w/green & brown blotches. What do you guys think? Went back to ROCO MGs. Found enough pad eyes to finish detailing the four new ones. That's next.



C&Cs welcomed. PaulE

Lovin it. Green/brown blotches seems good to me. Give one a try before committing the rest to see how it goes. Rick H.
