Brengun do some useful stuff:

Hauler 1/35th scale: http://www.brengun.cz/e-shop/1-35-universal-sets-15

Brengun 1/32ns scale: http://www.brengun.cz/e-shop/1-32-accessories-31

(Look through all of them: the relevent stuff is mixed with the military stuff).

Modeling isn't just about how good the gluing or painting, etc. looks. It's also about how creative and imaginative you can be with a subject.
My modeling philosophy is: Don't build what everyone else has done. Build instead what nobody has seen or done before.

Should have been a kitchen sink, as in "Everything including....". I read that on the bog-bomb mission they had to carefully manoeuvre the plane on to the catapult so it couldn't be seen by the CO/Captain/whoever until it was too late to abort ;D.

........with an interior similar to this:


Then you need to look out for this kit for the camper body.

It's the AMT 1/25 1965 El Camino and was recently repopped recently.  As you can see the camper body is way under scale and only children and the vertically challenged would be able to stand inside it.  It does seem to be about right for 1/35 though.  It has no interior so you'd have to scratchbuild it.  Be carefull if buying one of the kits for the camper body as not all of them had it in.  This is the latest re-pop.

Notice it doesn't show the camper on the top of the lid.
You will then need to modify it to fit a 1/35 pick up truck.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Hasegawa boxed one of their 1/72 Skyraider kit with the markings and special ordnance for this aircraft.

I'm picturing this thing hitting a North Vietnamese position and getting some interesting looks.
It takes only one drink to get me drunk. The trouble is, I can't remember if it's the thirteenth or the fourteenth.

Does it come with blue ice too or would it have to be scratchbuilt?  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D
