Hello fellow modelers, I prefer 1/48 modern military aviation, but two years ago I built these M1A2 Abrams 1/35 No. 35269 from Tamiya and placed them in diorama. Every now and then I like the variety of building 1/35 modern tanks and armored vehicles, in combination with figures, this gives the model in a Dio even more expression. What I can remember was painting the US Army ACU of the military figures was not an easy thing to do, I stamped the paint with a brush. I used two figures kits, U.S. Tank Crew Modern from MiniArt 1/35 No. 37005, US Check Point in Iraq from Master Box Ltd. 1/35 No. MB359 and CONCRETE & Plastic BARRIER SET from Meng 1/35 No. SPS-012. I hope you can appreciate my first Dio! Cheers, Jos

I'm not sure whether this query should be posted under Aircraft or Vehicles but will try here. I am re-visiting a project that stalled last year, due to my lack of knowledge on the ground equipment that could be found in USAF revetments in VIetnam. The scale is 1:144 I have started building the revetment but it looks too clean without all the associated ground support equipment. Can anyone advise me of what equipment would be found around the aircraft? My query is what types and names of weapons trolley, ACU, tow-tug etc., would be correct for that era and theatre? Also, what name/type of refueller would refuel them and would they be refuelled whilst in the revetment? I am presuming, as I am working in 1:144 scale, that I will need to scratchbuild some items so any info, especially photos, drawings or dimensions would be very much appreciated. Thanks Mike
