Hello! @HDN - thanks a lot for your comment! I think you're right. After you pointed it out I even found the right part in the kit. Took a little longer than I thought, but I've got another update - I was working on the chassis and also on the cab: As you can see I’ve replaced the...

@HDN - thanks a lot for your comment and for your kind words! Let's get back to the real world - I put the wings on the frame: I printed them with the supports that help to keep them straight. After the glue (CA) sets, they will be cut off at the red lines. Then I dry fitted the...

Hello everybody! The real fun begins now - I got my 3D printed parts from the printer today. Here's how they look like: The thread-plate looks a little coarse in 3D and in close up, but in person it's just fine. There's a whole jungle of supports there - removing them is a bit like...

Hello! Thanks a lot for your comment! By printer I mean a guy who is printing stuff for me. From the beginning - and I started my adventure with 3D in 2018 - I decided to concentrate on CAD work in the hope to always be able to find some state of the art printer with some free time - and so far...

Hello everybody! I've just sent my 3D designs to the printer - let's see what comes out of it :) I'll post pictures when I start installing them. Have a nice day! Paweł

Hello everybody! I think I'm almost done with the fenders and the underside of the engine. Here's what I have: I even got carried away and have drawn the belt drive and the weird radiator fan, although probably very little will be visible of this: I think I need to draw up the...

Hey, this is a cool drawing! A real treasure for a modeller! Now I can check all the important dimensions in the AFV Club kit! If I move the front crossmember 4,5 scale inches forward, then it will be spot on with your measurements, but I'll probably have to adjust the front motor mount. But...

Hello! A small update - I added some "innards" around the block to make it look busy. The front crossmember is still too far back, like I wrote above. The exhaust pipe would be a little over 4'' in diameter - looks a bit much for me, but that's also how it is in the kit: Thanks for looking...

Hello! Thanks a lot for providing the dimensions. Looks like my front crossmember is too far back on the digital model. Looks like I have another understanding problem here - the "table" on the front crossmember, does it stick out substantially forward of the front fender edges? I thought it...

Thanks, glad to have you onboard!

Hello everybody! I have reworked the oil pan. Now it looks like this: Thanks to excellent Info from @gringeltaube I have also drawn up the gasser-specific fenders: As you can see the motor mount crossmember is also there. Please let me know if you see something off here. I'd like to know...

@gringeltaube - thank you so much for the pictures and for the measurements! I'm glad you didn't mess with the hornets too much! I'm really impressed, that you take the motto from your messages so seriously. For years I wanted to build a model of a Vietnam-era deuce, but all the references I...

Hello everybody! I thought before cutting and gluing anything I'd make a quick drawing in 3D to sort everything out... Now I think maybe it would be good to just 3D print the part... Here's what it looks like: One thing that I don't feel yet is the exact way the motor mounts to the front...

@msgjd , @gringeltaube - thanks a lot for the cool infos! So I'll have to mount the headlights low - that will make my model look original! Thanks for the measurements and for the pics - I really appreciate your crawling under! I'll try to build some representation of the 331 engine...

Hello everybody! My best greetings for you in the new year - I wish you good health and lots of fun with your machines! I'm slowly workin' on my model. Here's what I have so far: I have installed the air tanks to match the @msgjd 's photos, finished the transfer case installation, installed...

Hello! @msgjd , @gringeltaube - thanks a lot for your great help! Building this model is so much more fun with you! Once again, merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everybody! @gringeltaube - thanks again, that picture helps a lot, I'm scratchbuilding that crossmember right now! Assembling the axles I made sure to put the whole thing on an even surface, to prevent some of the wheels from hanging in the air later: As you can see I...

Hello everybody! Thanks a lot for your great help. @HDN - thanks, now I know what to look for. @msgjd - thanks for your comment, I'd love to see some more pictures from your truck @gringeltaube - thanks a lot, I love that picture, it's a great reference! I'm currently scratchbuilding that...

Hello! I've just finished my V100 model - you can see it here: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/looking-for-v100-chassis-pics.218205/page-6 Now I started working on my first deuce. I cleaned up the frame rails and I made new grabhandles, to match the ones from @msgjd 's photos - the kit...

Hello Rory! Thanks a lot for that detail. I'll probably use it in the MP version (yes, some beautiful day I'll build another one!). As for the USAF SP version I have a message from a veteran who wrote me he had this funny combo of M16 with XM148 and that's why I modelled it, as well as the...
