great set of kits for a USAAF bomber base.
This great set of kits from Airfix provides three common vehicles in a USAAF WW2 base in the UK. The largest of them is an Autocar U7144T tanker and a fair number of the sprues are for this vehicle. Next is a Chevrolet M6 bomb service truck along with a single M5 bomb trailer. To round things out is a small Cushman model 39 package car. This latter items is really a three wheel scooter. The level of detail is excellent and the fitting of the parts are also very good. There are few options with this set. On the tanker, the rear doors can be posed open to show the hoses on their reels. Both of the trucks, which have canvas tops, are designed to be modeled with those tops up. The bomb trailer can have the bombs either mounted in line with the trailer or transversely. In the transverse mode, the tail fins are mounted on the trailer separately. There are two large and four small bombs included. Instructions are well done and typical of modern Airfix kits with the previous steps colored red, a nice touch. All the vehicles are in overall olive drab with no optional markings. In addition to the vehicle markings, there are stencils for the bombs. The small decal sheet is nicely printed. The only complaint i have its that they could have put some human figures, to make a more realistic diorama. Conclusion: This excellent set of kits is ideal for a USAAF base diorama with the addition of a B-17 or B-24 Bomber and human figures.
