Recently I found myself away from home and in need of diversion. Luckily I had brought along some kits to build. My first victim was this Tamiya Ford MUTT M-151 with TOW. You'll perhaps recall that I already have one of these -
it can be seen here.
It's a good old kit and having built one a couple of years ago I was optimistic about my abilities to make a reasonable job of it. Incidentally, if you want to see one built really rather nicely I refer you to
Pete's Model World blog. And yes, these are 1/35 scale Coke cans visible in his photos....
Anyway, back in Tim's Bodge World the build continued apace. The parts are moulded crisply with next to no flash to remove.
I opted to have the windscreen 'folded' this time with the TOW launcher pointing forward. It may be a while before the MUTT has to suffer the agonies of paint.
Oh, and apparently MUTT is US Military-speak for Military Utility Tactical Truck. Not a Jeep then.

I always thought they called it a MUTT because Ford made these and so couldn't call them a Jeep. ???

Indeed. But I wonder what the squaddies called it.
Nice. Keep em' on flat ground as these roll like there is no tomorrow!
Looks good Tim.
I am slightly concerned that the Russians will be getting a bit undergunned at the point.
Cheers,
Pete.
