Tim,
You may also want to check out the warwheels web site. Patrick Keenan is a great guy and has lots of reference data. There is also prime portal. The first picture looks like a 2 1/2 ton frame would be a good starting point. Italeri still has the molds for a cargo and water version which might help you out a lot.

That is what "By Modelers For Modelers" means!!!

Most of the time I use Testors liquid cement. It melts well and bonds great too. The down side is that it takes a while to set up. For fast drying I always use Zap-A-Gap. I almost exclusively use the green bottle stuff. I have never used a kicker but there have been a few times I should have.

Tim,
If you are referring to the 4 tanks on the rear side engine then no.....they were for storage only. Great pictures of that VT-34 too.

HEY,
IF YOU GUYS ARE INTO WARHAMMER 40,000 YOU NEED TO CHECK OUT THIS SET OF FIGURES!!

Tom,
If you plan to use the Staghound, I would recommend Italeri's just on the ease of building. I just finished my Bronco one about a month ago and with all the small parts, Italeri's would be an esier build and I think it is cheaper too.

Tom,
I have never seen the movie, but that would probably be your best bet. Do a scene from the movie. From the information I have read, there were numerous clashes between the different factions. However, I have not yet found any ARMOR INVOLVED data.

Hello Everyone!
I also posted this in the wants and disposals. I am currently looking for someone that has the Legend LF1112 Magach 6B Batash or LF1111 Magach 6B GAL conversion sets. I want only the turret basket. I will pay for you to ship it to me and after using it, pay to ship it back to you. My plan is to return it to you in the condition that it was sent. If anyone out there can help, please contact me.
Sincerely,
Mark

Tom,
Hope it helps. If you know a specific unit, vehicle or idea, I have lots of photo reference. However, it is mostly of Middle East Countries as opposed to British vehicles.

Hello,
Since that was a year before Israel declared it's Independence, there are a few options. The Sherman, Cromwell, Staghound and the jeep to get you started.

This is a list of units that were there from 45 - 48

Unfortunately, Judges are not always the subject matter experts. I have seen models win with some outlandish camouflage schemes over the entire vehicles before. I guess you can go with the "If they had to look THAT close to decide a winner" theory then you are building great! It reminds me of a story when we approached the Fort Lewis Museum to do a display. The curator said that was fine but we could not display any unbelievable paints schemes like FW-190s with red and white stripes. Even though these were actually used.

Tom,
Overall Dragon makes the best. Depending on your build era I would choose the T-34/85M, T-34/85 (with bedspring armor [ultimate], T-34/85 model 1944 or the T-34/85 UTZ model. Try to stay away from 6066 (T-34/85 1944E) and sometimes listed as the Chinese Volunteers. It is a nice kit but the road wheels are sorely lacking. Basically stick with Dragon for the kit and there are hundreds of aftermarket items to choose from.

Well,
My desk isn't quite that bad. I have the M4A3, a Esci Magach 6, Tamiya/Legend Magach 3, Trumpter Pt76 and Bronco's Staghound.

Esci and Hasegawa both offer ground maintenance sets. Esci's comes with the forklift you might be referring to. I believe Esci's is in 1/48 ands Hasegawa is 1/72.

Hello,
Where in Korea are you at? TDC has an excellent model shop right off base. I was in my hey day (buying) when I was stationed there. Also, Casey and Hovey both had a great selection of kits and such at the on base craft centers.

Hello all,
I have been using the Micro Mark resin casting material. Both the one-2-one rubber and the CR-600 (I think). It is the slower cook time version. Lately I have been having numerous air bubbles in the resin. Does humidity play a BIG factor in casting? It is really irritating me as I used to have no problems with it.

When I was building the AC-130 for a friend I could have sworn there was a 1/48 AC-119 and I had thought how kool that would be. I am sure there is a way but can't imagine how. If they made a plan C-119 in the scale then at least I could start.

Again,
This is why IPMS/USA and all the other IPMS country websites ROCK!!! As long as you have computer access, you can almost always find an answer to a question.

Hello All,
Am I brain dead or did Italeri really release a 1/48 scale AC-119 Flying Boxcar? I am almost positive that when I was building their AC-130 I remember a AC-119.

Guys,
Thanks I wanted to show off some of my stuff but don't want anyone else to be able to look at it. I mean outside of IPMS viewers. I'll look into the photobucket idea.

Hello All,
I have noticed that some forum pictures I can see and some I cannot. I have tried to upload pictures but it requests the URL. First question is why can I see some pictures but not others and Second, to upload to the forum, I need to have the picture stored on some other webspace?

Tim,
That is ALWAYS the problem with reference material. I have loads of middle east stuff but the authors on many occasions have made accurate identification of a particular vehicle very confusing to say the least.
