My wish would be my C15A finished as an exact copy of one used on the bulldog road in New Guinea.

Mine would have wings..well it is a dream after all.

I wonder why there aren't more Valentines around? Maybe a lot got melted down and turned into more efficient t-34s and BTs and T54s?

Lots of Cdn Valentine production photos in one of the old Convoy magazines--also then and now pics...

This is a hard one for the greedy.There are so many possibilities. A relatively common, but nice CCKW 353 (closed cab) would fill a gap in my wish list. For that absolute Classic look, with the fuel covered, it would have to be a Diamond T Transporter (with a Honey (Stuart) tank on the back)
Not quite the ONE M.V.

I'd like an F15 12 cab, fully rebuilt and reflecting both war time and post-war service.
Hang on... I've already got that (except the rebuilt part, of course)
A F60S Tipper would be handy, too!
Merry Christmas to all of my rusty and flaky paint brethren!
Cheers
