Whoops, sorry Ian!

Just wondering if it's OK to change my mind and build something else? Looking again at the tank transporter kit I think it will be a bit dull with just green/brown camo so I would like to build something with a bit of colour. If it's too late then I will just go with it.

Yes you can change no problem as I am thinking of changing my build until I can get the right paint
A choice has been made....

I picked up this one today and it will be my main build. 
3 build options I will be building the green one.
And some nice accessories.

Peter, if its alright with you, I'd like to enter this group build with this one:
I probably won't be starting immediately, but I'll get a post up for the build later in the week.

Would anyone mind if I slip another one into this GB?
I've already done two and don't want to muscle in with another, so more than happy to post it elsewhere if you'd prefer.
Will have a 38t as cargo and probably a base.

That is a magnificently UGLY truck. Am I alone in thinking it looks like a crocodile on wheels?
Ah. Just me then

Not sure about the croc but, as you so rightly say, it's a bl---y ugly vehicle! Might just buy one sometime though ...

Here's a thing. The Germans had something like 140/50 truck makers going into WW2, most of them bespoke small businesses. A serious attempt was made to rationalise the situation to increase commonality of parts.
They managed to get it down to 115 different, and incompatible, manufacturers by Barbarossa
No wonder they used so many of the trucks we left behind in France. I mean we had something like 16 manufacturers, all building to set patterns

They actually had the French building trucks for them as the thought they were good trucks. Until the French building them started "modifying" them. Using underrated wire in the electrics. Not putting oil in the diffs. wrong oil in the gearbox. wax in fuel tanks...Would work at first then break down. Germans love of the French trucks turned to hate!
