Can I see your driving licence sonny?

Dear Fellow Modellers

 

I built this truck as light relief from a long-term Miniart Stug IIIG full interior project (more to follow).  I added lovely resin wheels from Panzer Art I think and instrument panel from Quinta.  The driver and interrogating officer come from a Miniart drivers set.  The ICM kits are a nice balance of pragmatism on detail and quite nice fit.  But we are all praying for the day when they ditch those vinyl tyres!

 

 

I also wanted to work on my airbrushing technique, doing some components as painted sub-sections before adding.

 

 

The tarpaulin is vac form from somewhere like MR Modelbau

 

 

 

ICM do a great job with their radiators and this is a fine example.  Miniart certainly created a very intimidating officer too!

 

Hope you like it?

Very nicely done little diorama, the truck looks very good, I like the inclusion of tyre tracks in the sand (sometimes overlooked) and the camo on the smocks and helmets is very good too.

Impressive work Andrew, very well done.

Superb model & figures 👏 Great job on the camo scheme too 👍

[Keeff]

That is very good ...  the truck is nicely finished and displayed weathered and the figures are great, adding to the story.

 

I like the simple scene too ...  good work!

Splendid! Vehicle, figures and the base display modelling skills of the highest degree.

That is a superb model. The truck is very well painted, as are the figures, and all excellently displayed. And the sight of those width indicators brought back memories of an incident in Germany in 1966. Great job all round.

Thank you for your appreciation Guys.  Not so long ago I remember Japanese taxis with their width indicators.  These would illuminate at night - cute!  Just remember not to try shutting the door when you get out, ouch!
