This is the pair of Unimogs I bought from CPL Overby's motorpool, made originally for wargaming, but with lots of nice detail, I thought I would have some for the Honduras army transport role. I am really not keen on resin kits at the best of times but these went together quite painlessly, and the add on bits from the bits boxes helped make them stand out a bit more too.

Come out well. Might I suggest a darker shade of blue for the windows ?
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Cheers for the comments guys :thumbsup:
The blue I used was a near midnight blue colour  by Humbrol, and the darkest I had,so a case of use it or lose it really. I would make some more of these for sure as they are good fun and easy builds.

I use a different method for windows using light blue, dark blue and white.  I paint the pale blue first, blend in the dark blue and when dry add a couple of thin white strokes as highlights.  I've painted them with the dark blue at the top and at the bottom of the windows and both look OK.

They are 1/76 scale from S&S models http://www.sandsmodels.com/ it is not a very helpful site but e-mail Shaun at sales@sandsmodels.com  Shaun produces long and short wheel base versions and a three or four different cabs and a whole variety of weapons to fit in the back.
