Hi all

Although my favourite subjects are the russian armours (especially those produced in fifties, sixties and seventies), a while time ago I bought on special offer the old Tamiya kit dedicated to the Ford british gun tractor (QUAD "CAB 12"... if i'm not wrong)

I bought this kit because it reminded me when I was beginning to do this beatyful hobby. Infact i had already bought it when I was a kid. It was one of the first model which I did.
Memories aside, I know that this kit although is rather good despite its age, requires quite a lot of works to be improved.
I've already downloaded from the net some references; F. E. this rather good walkaround: http://svsm.org/gallery/chevrolet_cgt_fat_cab12 Is a Cab 12 Chevy exemplar...almost equal but not the same.

I'd like to have some others references. Did you have some links or pics to give me?

As I said at the beginning, i'm not an allied armours expert. I know that many of you are skilled modellers canadian, american and british. Did you have some advice to give me about the Quad tractor camo? (for exemple about the famous "Mickey Mouse Ears" camouflage) What colors i have to use?

Any kind, advice, pic, link and so on, would be greatly apreciated

Cheers

Thanks a lot! This is very interesting. I'm not going to depict the 25 pdr. gun, but is important to know all about the Royal artillery units in ww2

Thanks a lot Alan for your kind advices
I'm already following that build log

I was looking mostly for others pics of the real vehicle.
I tryed to enregister me to this forum:

to obtain more pics and drawings...but the forum owners didn't grant me the axcess (i really don't know WHY...)

Furthermore i'd like to know more informations about the gun tractors camo schemes...

For exemple...

Anyway, thanks a lot again for your answers
