That makes me think it should be Yellow  :rolleyes:

It looks fantastic! Works well in those colours and not many will know the aircraft type too!

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

And finally I got my rear end in gear and took some more pics with the finished Jeep & Pallet.

You can't see much of it when it's in position.  Which is why I didn't follow through with my plan to hook it up to the plane so it was suspended mm's off the deck.

Airfix Airbourne is definitely the best 1/72 Jeep kit i've built.  So good I immediately bought another.  As well as the pallet it comes with lightweight howitzer, trailer, and a variety of machine guns.

MOST impressive Fred!  :thumbsup:  :bow:

The pic of the Jeep on its own doesn't give even a hint of its scale, or it doesn't to me who's never even seen that kit.

I like the way you've used a localised anti-gravity field to hold the gantry in place over the built Jeep too..............

(How DID you do that???)
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

She certainly suits that scheme  :thumbsup: and that jeep is tiny
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Thanks folks.
