Dragon 1/6 scale SAS Jeep

I have just received my Summer 2011 copy of a Catalogue from a Berlin shop that deals with all manner of Military books and models and was pleased to see several new 1/6 scale WW2 Military Models, by Dragon.

The one that turned my head was the SAS Jeep
After my holidays I will be placing an order.

There is also a 1/16 Scale Tiger I ready finished in Metal and plastic and manufactured by Forces of Valour. 499,00€

Just picked up the very large box and hope to make a start during the winter months.

You won't need an opti-visor for that, Tom!!

Good luck!

Cheers,

Neil

 

Neil,

The only disappointment is the lack of Drivers side mounted Bren Gun, which was shown on the advertisement I had looked at.

No problem, the one I made recently will now be mounted on the Jeep when finished

Is it possible to take a photo of the contents before you begin. I would be interested to see the "bits" before construction starts.

 

Kevin,

I will do that for you.

Tom

 

Kevin,

I hope that this is of interest to you and other modellers on the forum.

Yes, they all fit in the box, just!! The box is 24" long or about 60 cms.

Am I just being blind (or blond) but I don't see any engine parts

 

Kevin,

You are not blind.

No engine parts, just the radiator.

Ok Tom

A new challenge for you. Scratch build the engine

Kevin,

Alas, at the moment it is Time management that is the problem.
