Lets start with Attacks Jeep, which is a real gem.

The only modification I remember is the replacement of the steering wheel with a photoetched one from Hauler

I only realised too late that you have decals for Czech vehicles only. A friend came to the rescue and donated his Jeeps decals from Academys Ground vehicles set.

The base was kept simple and should represent a part of a german testing area. Cardboard covered with stone texture from Vallejo, engraved and washed and some static gras should do the job

What would we do without CMK? For quite some themes they are the only ones to offer appropriate figures. I want to tell my story with the US driver and the Meillerwagen crew set.

Here you see them in an advanced painting stage

The trailer was taken from Academys Dragon wagon set and detailled with Eduards photoetch.

Here the finished trailer. I initially intented to use the Dragon wagon too, but decided against it, as it would have taken too much attention away from the story I wanted to tell.

I bought CMKs resin replacement wheels but unfortunately they did not improve the build a bit. So they have been left aside.

Here the basic layout of the scene - still without figures.

Modellart offers the experimental german anti-aircraft rocket Rheintochter. Assembly was easy and straightforward.

Brenguns airfield crane is a nice kit but you should be able to solder, as otherwise it will be even more difficult to handle.

And here it is how it all came together.

As you can see here, alignment of the wheels leaves something to be desired. I found it quite tricky with the kind of suspension construction the kit offers.

Excellent small scale diorama with outstanding detail work and painting. Were it not for the figures you could take it for a 1/35 build. I also like the idea behind the scene ........ 👍👍

Album info

The war is over. The allies scan the country to retrieve whatever technology might be useful for them. In this fictional diorama a german Rheintochter anti-aircraft rocket is loaded onto a M26 trailer to be taken away for inspection and analysis.
