Product Information

To me it appears as though they used an existing M1919 30 cal receiver from another toy and added a M2 50 cal barrel(?); either that or it was created for something else in a smaller scale. So now I am on a quest for an accurately sized Browning M2. Worse case scenario I will have to make one. Rifle Green - The Rifles (light infantry by tradition), The Small Arms School Corps, the Royal Ghurka Rifles, the Essex Yeomanry.

British Special Air Service Jeep, Tamiya MM133 (1974)

I noticed that some were set-up as a command jeep (radio kit and the like), others were one or two gun recon or staff vehicles, and some like I am making were the "gunny" or weapons jeeps (maximum firepower). Looking closely at various photos of the period you can see items on the SAS vehicle from the U.S., British, Germans, and just about anything else that could serve the need. I think that's what I like about these vehicles, everything not needed was stripped off and anything desired for the mission was added; sort of no frills and all purpose machine. Thanks for the reply., and if you don't mind I would indeed appreciate it if you could get that information. I think the one with the mounted machine gun might not be Tamiya. The other one (complete with soft top made from paperclips and tissue paper ) is meant to be a rollover. Inspired by a comment from my Grandpa "Those things rolled easily. Killed more people than the Germans.". Will probably use No.1 as its more recognisably a theodolite. Still a bit of highlighting/weathering to go and the addition of a plumb line. Now with more of the engine showing I will be reworking the exhaust from the engine manifold to the skid plate.Since I was cleaning up the mounting posts for the screws, I decided to remove the ones between the rear chassis (under the rear differential). Once removed I added sheet plastic to the area to appear like the smooth bottom of the stowage area: felisbarcinonensis wrote:Hi John! and Hi John! Hi both of you! it's a small fishbowl world! Small world, but I wouldn't want to paint it But there could be more shades. For example, the beards of both guys have the same brown color. Why not, both can be brown, but a little different in shade. This photo shows the mounting pins with chains, the large center pin nut, cradle base level adjustment bolt and optional holes, and the charging handle.

I then added the smaller stones randomly across the base, pressing them into the clay slightly. These are gravel pieces "borrowed" from my friend's driveway: I hope you enjoyed this update as much as I have. Please let me know any ideas towards the SAS jeep build or any other constructive criticism.The gunner is meant to be holding a water bottle in his left hand. Only noticed it was missing when I looked at the photo! The kit is very detailed, with 3 build options and lots of extras to bring the kit to life. The individual Jerry cans are great fun to paint. Thanks digger, NoelSmith, and Casper. This build has been a lot of fun believe it or not. Do any of you have ideas to apply to the project?

It looks really good! I especially like jerrycans of different colors - many different shades enliven the model.I'm also learning that finding anything in 1:18 scale to detail this with is difficult. While there are "toy' items available, there is nothing in the modeling contingent in 1:18 for this kind of build. Likewise, when looking at 120mm items; many items listed as 120mm are not consistently 120mm. Also some of the stuff listed as 1/16 is noticeably larger than 1/18 and can't be used. Yes, it is the Academy kit, reboxed. It's basically a good kit. The early releases had a problem with the VVSS units being about 1.5mm too high, but Academy corrected this in later issues. There are also some missing rivets on the side of the hull. The best place to get a full rundown on the kit is here; My very first attempt at dot filtering is also the first time I've ever used oil paints, and I'm absolutely delighted with the results. The idea was to break up the monotony of the Vallejo Sand Yellow giving a bit of tonal variation without necessarily leaving streaks or patches. I did find a 1/18 standing SAS soldier in the desert uniform, but I am not sure how he would look with the two I already have that are not in the tropical wear, what do you think?
