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...

Hello Rory! Thanks a lot for your comment and for your kind words! I understand you've got your own life and things to do, I don't expect you to comment every post in this thread, although I can't thank you enough for your contributions here and for your help with my model. And today what I...

@msgjd - thanks a lot for the clarification! I'll pay attention to the differences!

Hello everybody! Recently I have worked on the weapons mounts, there are two foldable mounts on the sides of the superstructure, I’ve built one deployed: And one folded: I had to scratchbuild their locking levers. I’ve also added what a friend was always pointing out - the chains securing the...

Hello! Thanks a lot for your comments! @Valley Rock - of course I'd love to see the pictures you mentioned here! Have a nice day Paweł

Thanks a lot! Like I suspected, M35s and their variants is a wholly separate branch of knowledge in itself! I hope I'll learn a bit of that on the way. Have a nice day! Paweł

@msgjd - thanks a lot for the photos! They are so cool! Now I'm getting the feeling for what I'm about to model! Those photos also give some cool ideas about weathering the underside. I think putting the pioneer tool rack on top of the tank will look cool even if it was not so good for the real...

@msgjd - hanls a lot! Those pictures are soo cool! A lot better than everything I could find on the 'net so far plus it's really classic truck, and not the A2C that is almost all you see nowadays. How about that pioneer tool rack, was that a standard location for it? I have that Monogram kit...

@msgjd - thanks a lot for your comment! That's an interesting explanation about that water inscription... If I can get enough reference, then I would like to model the truck in the picture as close as I can get. I'll say right on, that I will not model the insides of the engine compartment...

Hello! Thanks a lot for your comments! @Jbulach - that's what I've seen, too. Plus on the sides of the main tank there are two small doors of the hose compartments: That's why I suppose we have an M49A1C in the photo. @HDN - thanks a lot for the TM pages, very interesting. Could you...

Hello! Thanks a lot for your comment! I already have the -10 TM (Operator's), but I'd love to get one showing the PTO, the pump and the shaft connecting them - probably the -20. I'll send you a PM right away. Thanks again and have a nice day Paweł

Hello! I'm a modeller and I would like to build a model of this truck: I have three questions for people who know "the real thing" 1) any idea what that "potable water" inscription is supposed to mean? Looks to me like a kind of a joke, any ideas? 2) do you have any pictures or TM drawings...

Hello Rory! Thanks a lot for your kind words! I have painted up the lights front and rear. Hobby boss supplies these parts made entirely of clear plastic - that allows to paint them up in an interesting way. In the photos below the wheels are only dry fitted, so they look funny. Somehow the...

Hello everybody! Rory - thanks a lot for your comment! From what I heard the camo was factory-painted, and the photos show a certain regularity, of course with a variation. Sometimes the partition between green and OD is hard to spot and I think the colours might have faded, been repainted or...

Hello Rory! Thanks a lot for the heads up. I have sanded the front fenders smooth. Funny enough, now that I look on the photos there still seems to be a slight step there... I don't really see it on the model when I look at it - I\ll have to work on that some more. As for the front I have also...

Hello Rory! Thanks a lot for pointing out the details, I'll keep them in mind. Here’s another update… I got the doors painted on the insides now: I made some new weld lines in the back: And in the front I thought about how to best attach the mesh to the light guards and I decided to solder...
