Jeeps Until You Are Sick of Them!






















Recently I wrote a couple articles about Jeeps. The Roco M-38 HO scale Jeep is one of their oldest kits but holds up pretty well, even today. Some armies still use these old soldiers in one of the many versions. Wayne Wanner a master modeller has contributed a few new photos of some Jeeps in his collection. They were tired and sorry looking not too long ago and inspired by my Jeep work he dragged these out of his spares box, fixed them up and is ready to ship them off to war!






















Some of these Jeeps will end up in his commo platoon and so they have extra radios and antennas. Most of these Jeeps had no windshields and were in sorry shape. Wayne used a bit of wire to form a framework and then covered the frame with aluminum foil. He dropped a bit of superglue into the aluminum foil and blew it into the folds to keep it together. Wayne did a great job with these Jeeps and I am happy to see his work! Thanks Master Modeller Wayne!
