Thank you very much, I really appreciate it.

Especially coming from you, we can say that my observations on the photos found on the 284 th page were very useful!

I think I will have to add this on the fender :

What color do you think this square plate with the letter was?

Nice model !!

Some pictures of my Opel Olympia scale 1/35

Thank you Mikel first of all I'm really sorry for my late reply.

Why did I choose the 284 th for my truck?

A few months ago I registered on Face Book and I discovered the page of the 284 th (https://www.facebook.com/284thcombatengineers )

I saw all the photos available there were several photos of the GMC LEROY  and that is what allowed me to make the markings of the truck without making any error  

Finally I hope !!

Here my last work in progress ( Kubelwagen Dragon/Bego 1/35)

Hello

Here is the correction of Registration Number

I picked a number from the list Mike C gave me

Before :

 After

Thank you So much Mike !!

Thank you very much

Thank you so much,

Indeed I spent a lot of time and testing before getting something correct:

first test (no correct)

Second test

third was correct

good idea for the pin up but I prefer the historical document😁

Good evening

here is my last project in progress This is a GMC TAMIYA and a 1/35 Master Productions conversion

Markings : 284th engineer combat battalion

I used two  kit Bronco Models :

And this for the Canvas

Here I managed without damage to remove the decals and the hood of the jeep This will allow me to put the new registration number more easily
