Directly after my time at the bundeswehr in 1988/89 I build a Revell Unimog in 1/35, the vehicle I drove there. Right numberplate, decals and some scratchbuild additions to it. Have to make a few photos of this old one, but it was not build (and painted) so good at all.

Not a worry, it was early days - we all have a model or three like that... (channelling Fred, "Don't ask etc...")

Sounds like it might be time to revisit that project?

As mentioned here last time, two pics of this old 1/35 Unimog i made a long time ago - I think it must have been 1989.

I was in a communication nit and my Unimog had half of a 30 meter comm-mast on its back. Took several hours to set the com station up and running. Additionally, it also has a small one axle trailer with a waveguide.

The model has the same decals and sticker than "my" Unimog, even the right license plate. Which was quite tricky to make at a time, when you could not print it yourself.
On the back, I added the come tower parts, and over the cabin, you the little crane that was used to set up the tower is visible. Of course this crane was operated manually....
