Okay, I found the 3 variants I built years ago. Here's the 3, the one on left is I think the one you are building EG , middle one is the Vietnam era one I almost include in my M16 Diorama, and the one on right is the TOW version which seems to be missing a few parts as is the one on the left - missing machine gun.

Egilman Posted May 29, 2020 Author #44 Posted May 29, 2020 Ok put together a few more details as time allowed... Wheels on and body mounted... Some of the finer details added to the engine compartment and rear .... Decided that I will mount the M1919A4 gun and it's pedestal mount... I saw a lot of images of the Jeeps with the 101st on D-Day had the gun and the wire cutter so I will include both..... as far as the gun, it seems like the only pics taken were ones of them loading the thing on gliders, or in C-47's, none of them in actual use..... That's a shame cause for the first employment in europe the AB divisions primary artillery support was this gun..... Makes one think that the AB division didn't have anything other than what they jumped with... which is not correct at all... In fact they all didn't jump many battalions came in on gliders rather than jumping out of airplanes.... We always hear about the pathfinders and parachute infantry regiments, we never hear about the glider infantry regiments which in many cases took twice the casualties than their silk hung brethren... Anyway, almost done. Researched the Artillery rounds that came with the gun, they are M48 HE rounds 5 of them. in WWII in Europe they were delivered in wooden cases, two to a case and they were in protective tubes black in color with a yellow tape seal..... the only time there were shells out and about ws when there was firing going on, other than that they were never removed from their protective tubes..... So there is really no need for exposed shells in the back of the jeep..... although I may still make up a couple of crates and some of the other equipment used with the piece....... I guess the gun was meant for a diorama with a crew manning it... Next up finishing the aft details, mostly grab handles, hood, windshield and weapons... Onwards...

Egilman Posted May 30, 2020 Author #48 Posted May 30, 2020 Hi Guys, final update before the finish.... Everything is together, decals on, ready for its final flat coat. (must sit overnight to allow everything to completely dry) I decaled her for the 82nd Airborne Division, 319th Field Artillery Battalion, Battery B, Truck 4 with one of four M1A1 75mm Pack Howitzers. Operation ELMIRA, 2100 hours, (two hours before dusk) June 6th 1944. The second glider borne assault reinforcing and supporting the 82nd Airborne troopers around St Mere Eglise.... The hood is still in future that's why it appears a bit greener than the rest of it. I need to add a few items that all these jeeps and guns had as equipment but wasn't in the kit.... Rope looped over the front bumper, various rods and gun parts that would be strapped down to the trail, and maybe a little cargo in the back of the jeep.... When finished I'll do a photo array..... Thank you for the thumbs up and comments while following this little build...

The problem with that brother as you are well aware of is building the two sections of aircraft. You need the fuselage section right behind the wing to represent the exit, and a complete tail section which was tossed to one side... the span of the horizontal stabilizer alone would be close to a foot in 1/35th it would have to be on a base at least 18"x 12" at the absolute minimum and probably more like 24"x 24" to do a proper job of it...... I suppose it could be set up as it's own separate shelf in the display case... One of those subjects that would be great, if you had the space to keep it... I do believe that someone produced a paper kit of the Horsa in 1/33rd scale, that would work I suppose.... (building it in plastic using the paper as patterns) I guess Bronco does a 1/35 injection Horsa Mk1 ....

lmagna Posted May 31, 2020 #59 Posted May 31, 2020 The gliders used in WWII were pretty simple and you shouldn't need the whole thing to do a Diorama as they unloaded from the nose. In the case of carrying a Jeep, I even wonder if one glider carried both the gun and the jeep. Would this do for a set of plans? https://outerzone.co.uk/plan_details.asp?ID=6106 https://outerzone.co.uk/plan_details.asp?ID=6763 Canute, Old Collingwood, Edwardkenway and 2 others 5 Quote Lou Build logs: Colonial sloop Providence 1/48th scale kit bashed from AL Independence Currant builds: Constructo Brigantine Sentinel (Union) (On hold) Minicraft 1/350 Titanic (For the Admiral) 1/350 Heavy Cruiser USS Houston (Resin) Currant research/scratchbuild: Schooner USS Lanikai/Hermes Non ship build log: 1/35th UH-1H Huey

That pic is of a Waco Glider brother, (in British service known as the "Hadrian") and yes it could only carry one or the other.. the Airspeed Horsa Mk 1 is twice as large... the USAAF as well as the British used both... Four Horsa's and a Waco (Hadrian) in the same LZ... You can tell the Horsa's from the separated tails, it's how they unloaded vehicles....
