This week I was able to finish three 1/72 scale vehicles. One of them is one of three subjects built for my Japanese Forces.
This first one is the ACE 1/72 scale Kurogane pickup truck. It gave me a fight, but it is done now and been delivered to my Japanese Army:
These next two are being delivered to my US Army. First is this Dragon 1/72 scale M-998 Humvee gun truck:
The gun truck is escorting the other truck. This is the Dragon 1/72 scale M-998 Humvee troop carrier:
And that is all of the vehicles I have done so far. Thanks for looking in, comments are welcome.

Nice trio of wheels there Mark. I would call them Softskins, but the armed HMMWV has that issue partially addressed. Man I feel for the guys who has to create those things and go to war in them...

If the big audience here on SPAM could wish something.... That would be to get a group picture of these, especially as they belong to the same "group", sort of.
A tiny japanese pickup truck from WW2 era next to a modern, big Humvee truck..
Would be great to see them standing next to each other in a pic.. to see the size different really clearl.
Perhaps next time... :-)

Thanks everyone for the great compliments and comments.
Carlos, I agree, they are softskins which is why I titled this Thread "vehicles" instead of "armor". LOL! Even with the armor plate, it's pretty soft. That particular one looks like a field mod too. I agree, going to war in that would be a bit nerve racking.
Kari, thanks. I think I can shoot a pic of all three of these together. Stay tuned, I can possibly get it done at the beginning of the week.
Thanks Blacksheep!

Thanks Joe! With these two being finished, I have now completed the entire lineup of Humvees offered by Dragon in 1/72 scale. Someday I'll have to dig through my tubs and pull out all my Humvees and get a big 'family' picture.

Oh yes, I believe all of us wish ”Someday” will be very soon... :-)
