1/16 1/4 Ton Jeep

Here is my 1/16 scale 1/4 ton Jeep.  This is a great model and a lot of fun to build.

The G503 MB Utility Truck is a small four-wheel-drive vehicle that started development at the request of the U.S. Army in 1940, and entered battle in 1941. This  model kit of an iconic vehicle from Takom includes an M2 heavy machine gun, and the wheels rotate; the front wheels are steerable after assembly as well. Clear parts, photo-etched parts, and decals for four versions are included, as is a driver figure.

 

F-104 COCKPIT – ESCI 1/12

I have finally finished the companion cockpit to the ESCI F-16 in 1/12 scale.  This model F-104 cockpit was from the first offering which was ESCI so it's pretty old.  That said it held up well and was a real joy to build.  It looks great next to my 1/12 F-16 cockpit as the latter pictures will show.

Here is a picture of a couple of Lockheed F-104's in flight:

Here is a video of the F-104 COCKPIT.
