Jack, Thanks for your help, and i'l have a look at shows and events.

Cliff, I have seen your models here on this site and am impressed by your eye for detail.
I have a model in 1:76 from 4 mil models in Metal.
I was going to take measurements from it for the Body, But if you have actual measurements than I am sure interested.
Thanks for your help.


I will include some pics from some models I have build.


First is a cmp from TONDA discussed in the other post in the sergeants' mess.
It is a very nice model in resin and some Photo etch.














Hope you like them

All the best

Leon

Nice models. Nice to see some odd ball types being made.

Default Great

I like the 1938 chevy ute . The army here had some in a open cab/soft top configuration fitted out as radio cars . None of them have survived as far as I know.

Default 3 or 3A

Does anyone know what's the story of the gun tractor at the Australian War Memorial? I have seen it in storage at the annex and at first it seems to be a 3A, with winch. But there is no drive to the winch from the transfer case. Perhaps it is a mix of a 3A body on a 3 chassis?

Bob Schutt up at Monto in QLD restored it. The AWM bought it from him: Unless they have more than one ? Any vehicle restored by Bob is top shelf ...
