I continue to be amazed at the splendid detail you are putting into this! Very enjoyable to watch the progression. Cheers

Why can't picking one be easy?? All are very nice. Hmmmm.... Cheers

Good talking to you today 67B. This is a pretty good show, lots of really good vehicles, including a V100!! Certainly better attended than Des Moines last year. Cheers

I will do so! I think this is my 12th convention. I've missed a few for various reasons. Hopefully this one will be better than Des Moines. That was a great venue, certainly better than South Bend (I skipped the second one there because of that building) but unfortunately was very poorly...

I agree that doing all that work for something that will likely be invisible is not necessary, and your idea of deep slots will look fine. I'm away on a trip at the moment, and won't have access to my photo files until early next week. Perhaps Buck can provide the front axle information in the...

67B, I believe we have talked before at conventions. We SS'ers should put our avatar names on our nametags so we can recognize each other. I've done that in the past and had folks from here say, "Oh, that's you!" (usually in a good way ;)). Others, we have met and talked, but only...

It definitely has to be seen (and smelled) to be believed, seeing it on TV just doesn't compare to the all-surrounding personal experience. I have been in on the aftermath of several now, and hope not to have to do so again now that I have retired. But if one hits nearby again... Cheers

I'm going, with Scott aka Reloader64 and Sam aka Pawnshop. Too far (1300 miles one way) for us to bring any MVs, so we'll just be poking around looking at everything. It's a longshot, but I'll be looking for an AN/UGC-74B teletype for my M348 command post trailer. Cheers

The grill that comes with the kit is for a V150, and has the upper extension with the exhausts through it. The grill itself is solid. Going through my photo files and references, I did not find any USAF M706E2s with the exhaust pipes coming through the upper extension. I don't recall seeing...

Lonestar MVPA is far from dead, though our website does appear to be down at the moment... :oops: As El Presidente of said organization, I guess I need to look into that ASAP! By the way, the shorter guy in the picture at the top is me, and I'm 6' tall, gives you an idea of why he is called...

Absolutely splendid attention to the details! I'm really enjoying watching you build this. Having seen how much effort you are putting into this, are you going to rework the grill over the exhausts? (That big scoop on the back of the hull). Cheers

Wow!! Very cool! I am usually a "bone stock" guy when it comes to MVs, but I'll admit to doing a slightly modified M715 myself. ;) It had already strayed far from stock, I just changed it back a bit to what I wanted it to be. What engine, trans/trans are you planning? The markings are very...

Perhaps try the old fashioned 2x12(s) on the trailer floor at the back, to raise the rear of the golf cart enough to clear the tailgate? I've used that trick a few times to get a few extra inches of clearance. I'd sure like to see the rest of that M715! Cheers

Anything from 3/5 would have a UIC between M11181 and M11187. If the black mark in your picture is an L, Lima 3/5 would have UIC M11187. M00880 is MACS-1 MACG-38. Or in plain terms, Marine Air Control Squadron 1, Marine Air Control Group 38, based on MCAS Yuma, AZ Anyway, there is the...

M11130 - 3RD Battalion 1ST Marines (regiment) 1ST Marine Division on Camp Pendleton. In Marine terminology, that would be 3/1 1stMarDiv Cheers

Yes, the same UIC will be on everything the unit owns - vehicles, transport containers, etc. Cheers

Rowdy, my wife's co-pilot and guardian for 14 years. Veteran of many roadtrips, parades, and other MV events. He left us last year. Never thought an ankle-biter could win me over, but he was a wonderful little fellow. Cheers

If you can find the UIC, it will be an M followed by five numbers, I can likely tell you what unit it belonged to. On Humvees, the UIC is usually somewhere along the sides in front of or below the doors, and sometimes on the back. In the photo, M11400 is 1st CEB (combat engineers) on Camp...

He's got them in there. They sure would make getting in/out easier for us 1/1 scale E1 types. Cheers

As D6T mentions, it does have a resemblance to Brit Sankey trailers, of which there are many variations. It could also be US because there were just so many different types, from a bunch of manufacturers, used in smaller numbers during and after WWII. It would look nice fixed up, and with some...
