HL-10 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Italeri's 35th scale jeep is neat little kit. This version is painted as "Follow Me" Jeep found on USAAF airfields. It is marked as belonging to the 306th Bomb Group based at Thurleigh in Bedfordshire. I Painted the black and white squares by hand, without masking, to try and represent the rough, locally applied paint job. The life jacket is made from Milliput. The two figures are from Verlinden, the guy in the Mac is meant to be Clarke Gabel, who served in the 8th Air Force. upload pictures online image upload no ads upload pictures online upload a picture open source screen capture screen capture windows pc screen shot Thanks for looking:) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HL-10 Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 The weathering looks great I have to say . . . has this been developed into anything more ?? Thank you! Unfortunately it hasn't. The Jeep is in the markings of the 306th Bomb Group from Thurleigh,so unless I get the big B17, it will remain a stand alone item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
