Thanks, never thought of looking for 1/25 Andy

I’m currently building the Italeri 1/24 Willys Jeep. Does anyone know if there are any suitable US WWII figures that I could put with it? Thanks Andy

Hi Mike, Thanks for the links to the figure sets. Andy

I’m about to start the above kit and want to finish it in the desert livery. Does anyone know of any suitable figures that I could use with it, please?

Yes I still have them and use them regularly. I’ve never had a problem with them.

Fantastic build.

Hi Glynn, I have finished mine and it is in RAF livery. I haven't bothered continuing with my build post as I was "doing it in the wrong livery and with vehicle numbers that were incorrect" etc. Beaten by rivet counters!

That really is nice Glynn, well done.

It has come out really well Glynn, well done.

A bit more work done on the Scammell, it's coming along nicely with no real problems. The jib with some detail added from spare photo etch. The winch assembly. Rolled-up blinds made from Kneadite. Wiring added to cab interior. Home-made ladder and Meng bolt heads added. Best Wishes Andy

Accurate Armour also make a set of British Recovery Equipment, I'm not sure which set is better! https://accurate-armour.com/new/135th-accessories/a186 Andy

I prefer to put each one of my kits in individual cases as it keeps the dust off them I dread to think of the cost of a case to fit this one! Andy

Hi Kris, the quality is really good. It's like building a Tamiya kit. The only thing I would say is that some of the attachment points to the sprue are a little thick and require some sanding after you have removed the parts. I know that's only nit-picking though It's a great looking vehicle and you really need to buy one! Best Wishes Andy

Thanks John, I've just been using photos straight from my iPhone without resizing them. Glad you my build. Andy

Hi Glynn, The winch cable is made from two strands of very fine wire, I think it was bell wire or something like that. Any more than two strands, the cable gets hard to bend to the right shape. Start off with pieces that are a lot longer than you need as it will shorten greatly as you wind it. I put the two lengths into my dremel and held the other end with pliers. Put the dremel on its' lowest speed and just twist. Be prepared for trial and error as this stuff had a mind of its' own! As for the chain, In our local Hospice Care shop, they sell any four jewellery items for £1.00, I found these. After removing all the charms etc, this is what you are left with. Much cheaper than the "proper" ones on Ebay 😁😁 and all for a quid! Hope that helps. Best Wishes Andy
