Browsing on the net.

When I have some time, searching pics on the net usually. I would like to show the bests of the lasts. Enjoy them!

K-53 Radio truck.

I'm very interested about the wartime GMC series. (I'm not alone...) I would like to build several version in the future, so collected some nice resin conversion. I bought the K-53 radio body from Real Model too, but I could find only factory photos. I thinked, it was a "secret weapon", maybe the censor deleted the pics of them. But, after a very long hunting I found some postwar pics on the site of the 6th mobile weather unit: http://6thweathermobile.org. The photoghraps taken between 1949 and 1953. Two different colors are visible, the dark is the postwar deep olive-drab, the light one is yellow maybe. I'm not shure, please help me if You have more info. Many details are visible on the pics, so the site is very usefull. The Real Model forgot the ladder (at the rear of the body) and I gave only one fueltank with the kit (there were a smaller version in both sides). The weather unit fitted some special equipment, whith make the truck more interesting. Check the site and enjoy the pics!

Robert Capa exhibition in Budapest!

If You spend some days in Budapest, don't forget to watch the exhibition of Robert Capa's photographs! (www.ludwigmuseum.hu) The World's greatest war photographer born in Budapest, Hungary in October 22, 1913. His original name was Endre Erno Friedmann, later He tryed to find his luck as André Friedmann in France. Before the Second World War He moved to the USA and picked up the Robert Capa name. He made numerous unforgettable pictures from the Spanish Civil War across WWII. to Vietnam. I'm shure everybody know the "Death of a militiaman" or the unsharp but very famous serie of his D-Day shots. He said: "If your pictures are not good enough, it means you were not near enough!" He died at Thai-Binh, Vietnam, May 25, 1954. He thinked about us and made several pics about soft skin wehicles too. Here are few examples, enjoy them!

The new project. Bantam BRC.

I started to build this nice kit. I would't like to use PE parts, just buffing the plastic less thick and cut some detail from aluminium sheet. You can see an archive shot about the orig vehicle. I love the (min.) tree different shapes of the tyres, but (in this moment) I have no idea how I can sratch them.

Convoy.

I saw an US convoy travelled by train in one of the last days. The trucks came from Germany. Look the desert yellow Big Foot and the Mercedes Unimog!

Some Opel Blitz in US hands.

Enjoy the pics and build them!
