41 Ford Army Staff Car

[2doors3pedals]

In my 60+ years of model building I have never built a military vehicle  - I like them shiny! When my local scale model club decided have a contest with only military models I did some head scratching and came up with this one.  

It's mostly out of the box but being the street rod only version I had to find some stock parts make some adjustments.  I used Tamiya flat olive drab on the outside and Tamiya light sand with an overlay of clear orange and clear yellow inside. 

It was a nice break from hours of wet sanding and polishing paint but felt a little funny dechroming the shiny parts. 

I got out of my comfort zone a bit with this one and enjoyed the journey.  I'll probably never need the rest of that can of Army green again.

I'm not a Military Style builder either, but this looks very convincing to me and much like the few photos I have seen from WW II.
