Dr. Cranky Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 I am assuming you also mean model, right? Here's one from the early 40s used to recon UFOs in and around (over) Area 51! LOL, that's my story and I am sticking to it:

John Teresi Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Hello......this is one I did ......inspired by Jairus "P-29" Roadster.
Foxer Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 My personal pickup while in the service. Aluminum body and some type of Chrysler V8. I also drove this one on occasion ...
Agent G Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Mike, If I recall correctly, anything based on a M113 chassis had a Chrysler 360 ci engine. We didn't use those, but boy I drove a lot of Deuces in my day, 5 tons too. G
Dr. Cranky Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Oh yeah! I am salivatin' all over this thread already! Keep 'em coming!
Erik Smith Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 John - I remember seeing Jairus' drawing and loving it - then I watched your build of it - awesome. Thats my favorite of your builds.
1320wayne Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 This is probably the closest build I have that would partially qualify with the bomber nose art on the side.
1320wayne Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Here are a few builds from other builders that I've had archived in my albums. Hopefully they don't them being shown off. Doug Curran Rickard Frank Bennett

Sixties Sam Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Here's my army themed hot rod Lindberg 32 Ford pickup.
Foxer Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Mike, If I recall correctly, anything based on a M113 chassis had a Chrysler 360 ci engine. We didn't use those, but boy I drove a lot of Deuces in my day, 5 tons too. A 360 .. that sounds about right. Thanks for the info, Wayne. We had tons of 5 tons too. I've looked but never found any kits to make one.
Agent G Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 I think AFV Club makes a 1/35th scale deuce and a 5 ton. There is a resin 5 ton available from Tankworkshop but it's expensive as all get out. Tamiya makes a deuce but it's a WW2 era Studebaker I believe. G
TheCat Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Here's my Army Theme Car... It's the Field Marshal Erwin Rommel's Staff Car.
CorvairJim Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 This started out as a Corvair Rat Rod build, but it's morphed into a P-40 "Flying Tiger" tribute piece. This body shot is the only W.I.P. photo I have of it so far. The coupe body has been reworked into a true roadster with no provision for a top, and it's been shortened about 8 scale inches behind the doors. I've modified the kit racing seats into bomber-style buckets, fabbed an aircraft-style instrument panel for it, and even modified the steering wheel into an airplane control yoke. This one's been stalled for about a year now, but I keep meaning to jump back on it and get it finished. If anybody knows where I can get my hands on a set of shark jaw and leaping tiger decals, as well as other related markings for this build, please let me know.
monster Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 (edited) Here's my Chevy Van twin engine And my French Army top fuel dragster Edited January 14, 2012 by monster
Wagoneer81 Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Ok, here's mine! I used the decals from the Monogram 1/48 F-14A Tomcat. As you can see, they had some stray black ink on them so I decided to use a different set on the plane itself. This one started as an AMT Slammers kit. I filled the hood sides and grille, added the aluminum exhaust tips and turned the salt flat disks on my lathe... Simple, easy build, I hope you like it!
outlaw035 Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 here is mine....sgt. bilko....al-Qaida and taliban hunter...
Foxer Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) I'm loving seeing all these builds here! Makes me want to go for a spin in my 5 Ton .. if the MP's didn't take my logbook because out trucks had NO identification markings! That is like driving without a icense plate.
