After a few weeks of constant repairs, I finally got ahead of the broken parts and completed the Airfix USAAF resupply set. Since these are four individual vehicles, I'm posting them as individual models and counting them as such as well. Here they are....


First is my Cushman Model 39 Package Car:

That Cushman is only about an inch long....

Next is my Chevrolet M-6 Bomb Service Truck:

Here is the M-5 Bomb Trailer that the Chevrolet pulls:

And finally here is the Autocar U-7144-T Tractor with F-1 Fuel Trailer:

I didn't weather these much, given how they spent most of their time on paved runways and inside hangers. I am glad they are finally finished now. Next I'll be finishing up the RAF resupply set....


That's all for now. Thanks for looking in, comments are welcome.

Those are all great Mark! I’m glad to see that you are off to a flying start for this year! That sure is a great set of ground support vehicles!

Thanks Carlos! It does feel good to finish a series of models to start the new year off. I have two or three more that are on the verge of being done; I might even be able to post them in another day or three.

Thanks Stuart! It is a great set and I'm thrilled that Airfix has been releasing all these sets. I do love the look of these old vehicles. In some ways they were fun to build; other times, quite annoying....

Thank you Bruce, but you honor me too much calling my skills formidable. I am very pleased with the look of these vehicles though. I am even more motivated to get more done now; I just wish I could find the time to get back to the workbench....
