When I purchased the Tunisian Campaign army, the US component had no jeeps or trucks. I've now started to remedy that.
Can't have a US army without jeeps.
A few options were available with their assembly and I went for the full set.
I don't normally do decals, but the models cried out for a white star.
And you need trucks too to carry all the supplies.
These are solid resin models with cast on bases.
Makes them easy, but I'm not sure it is a style I like/prefer.
This model is solid metal, but I do not know the manufacturer.
It is a bit of a rescue job as all its barrels were broken.
They have been replaced with wire or, in the case of the 75mm gun, brass tubing.
A bit fiddly, but I had more trouble with the decals.
The white line is hand painted, but the stars have a coat of varnish to hold them in place.
I'm very pleased how this model has turned out.
It was part of a stash of things I got back in the middle of 2017,
from a club auction (see this post).
The new reinforcements all together now.
Excellent US reinforcements for Tunisia!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm basically using the Megablitz Tunisian campaign OOB as a template to build my WW2 15mm collection.
DeleteA real wargamery set of vehicles. Just the thing!
ReplyDeleteWait till you see all the stuff I have underway for the 8th Army.
DeleteAll US armies do indeed need jeeps and very nice rescue job on the tank. 😀
ReplyDeleteThanks. As a solid metal model I thought it would be a shame to let it go to waste.
