To add to what tjmarco said- The G3 is a German HK product, license produced all over the place, inc Mexico. (Pic 1) The FAL is Belgian product, again license produced all over. The one in the picture attached is actually a Brit L1A1. (Pic 2) I think firearms discussions are not smiled on...

Well, having seen that one 'in the pink' (I know, sorry. Couldn't resist that) it looks super! Good job Sam. I too had thought of walking into Maaco with some 383 and let them have the bother, may have to check on that. But then there is the guilt of not doing it yourself... Oh, the...

You would need to check the date for the particular set of directions too, style for marking need to be period specific. By that I mean using current directions for painting a Vietnam era truck would not be appropriate, nor WW2 directions for Vietnam, etc. The information I gave you is for...

The tape/airbrush method was just one way of accomplishing the soft edged spray pattern (the military "preferred" method of painting) for a privately owned vehicle if you don't have a sprayer with a fine enough nozzle. Looks good. If you have a good airgun, you can spray the pattern freehand...

MTVR bed is 14' long. If it is an LMTV cover it is the right length, but rather tall for a deuce (something like 11" taller?), you either need taller bows or lower tiedowns. Cheers

It's always a bit like a slap in the chest when one of these threads comes up and you first see the name of one of our lost members, but it is good that they are in a way still with us and will long be remembered. Cheers

Looking good Jim. Please share your progress as you go, and speak up if there are detail photos you need. Remember not to sand the side/front joint smooth, there is actually a lip all around where the sides meet the front plate, and several other areas as well. Very clean welds, but a...

B3.3T is correct on the benches. The turreted models had single piece full length benches that fold up. They look like they would block the doors either up or down, but rather surprisingly they don't, they are easy to step over in either position. That said, it is your model, and you can...

Normally 11.00-20's Cheers

Just a little ingenuity involved in figuring out your traverse tracking mechanism relay and you'd have remote weapon sighting wrecker-style :razz: Cheers

They are sighting periscopes for the M114, V100, and a myriad of other vehicles. Basically they hard mount in the turret near the guns, fixed ahead in line with the direction the guns point. A mechanical arm from the gun cradle, via the linkage on the side of the scope, controls the head...

Tim, is that M113 something they would part with? One of the guys on here is looking for an M113 hull for a gun-truck project. Cheers

Crane was recently selling them for $125 like new, but I see they have bumped their prices up to $225-275 for good condition ones. You have some extra fixture goodies to go with them. That ought to at least give you a ballpark figure to start with. Cheers

And I believe it is actually an M59 rather than an M113. Its been up around there for about 15 years. It usually has a big old pipe stuck on the front of the little turret, looking like a cannon, but that was missing last time I passed it (going to Temple airshow in the M813). Cheers

The only difference I know of for Marine Corps vehicles is the M. It looks like a V with legs and is different from any I have seen in stencil sets. Look at the attached picture, you will see what I mean. This is used for the "USMC" markings on the sides, front and rear (drivers side both...

jeep-Jeep, here is a picture of your truck! Cheers .

Still looking for that pic B3.3T. I have collected huge numbers of pictures over the years, but didn't divide them up into folders until recently. That one is still amongst my "jumble filing". Some are on disks, and my sadistic swine of a computer tells me I currently don't HAVE a disk drive...

Rich, I'm not sure how many Vs Larry had, but mine is not the one he has/had in the recent past. He could have had it some time back though; mine, Derrick's and one or two others did all come off a range together (unknown where/when). I would love to see your pictures, I might be able to...
