introduction Greetings from Argentina

[julian800]

Hello everyone. I have the pleasure of introducing me to this great forum of historical vehicles, although I am not collector or restorer, study military history for years.

My name is Julian Jimenez, I have 47 years old and I live in Argentina and I am modeler and sculptor scale figures.

The British vehicles and equipment of WW2 are my favorite subjects, and I need detailed information for some model kits of my collection.

Sorry to machine translation, but my English is not very good (although I'm studying).

A greetings from Argentina and thank you very much for accepting me on this forum.

Julian.

Hello Julian.

 

Welcome to the mad house.

 

Plenty of British WWII vehicle owners on here although I only have an American WWII vehicle - Ward Lafrance M1A1 but then again - it is a real man's truck as Jack will be sure to tell you.

 

Regards

Bienvenido a ésta forum Julian,

 

Yo vivía en Buenos Aires durante unos 8 meses durante su crecimiento en América Latina. Pasé la mayor parte de mi tiempo viviendo en Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. Entonces vivía en Colombia, Bogotá unos años después de BA y se trasladó de nuevo a Suecia con mi familia cuando tenía 11 años y medio de edad. Me enteré de la Fuerza Expedicionaria Brasileña, que luchó en Italia desde finales de 1944 hasta el final de la guerra en 1945, casi por casualidad. Yo estaba viendo un documental sobre la guerra en Italia Cuando el comentarista dijoque tropas brasileñas participaron en alguna batalla. He desde entonces me dediqué a difundir la palabra de que Brasil es un participante activo con más de 25.000 tropas comprometidas.

 

Hubo un importante número de pilotos Argentinia luchan en el bando aliado, pero no sé los números abouttheir mucho, y con qué unidades Lucharon.

 

 

Mi buen amigo Emil Bruce hielo actualidad la restauración de un británico Jeep Radio Airborne actual, un 1943 Ford GPW. Este Jeep llegó a Suecia en 1956 y se quedó con el mismo propietario, hasta hace un año, cuando Emil compró. Puedo enviar fotos de su vehículo, así como mi propia (12 de febrero 1945), Dodge WC51, marcado como una ambulancia de la Fuerza Expedicionaria Brasileña. goran_noren [A] yahoo [punto] com

 

Saludos cordiales

And in English:

I actually lived in Buenos Aires for about 8 months while growing up in Latin america. I spent most of my time living in Rio de janeiro, Brazil. I then lived in Colombia, Bogotá a few years after BA and moved back to Sweden with my family when I was 11½ years old. I found out about the Brazilian Expeditionary Force, that fought in Italy from late 1944, until war's end in 1945, quite by chance. I was watching a documentary about the war in Italy when the commentator said that Brazilian troops were involved in some battle. I have since then dedicated myself to spreading the word that Brazil was an active participant with over 25.000 troops commited.

 

There was a significant number of Argentinia pilots fighting on the Allied side, but I do not know very much about their numbers, and with what units they fought.

 

My good friend Emil Bruce is presently restoring an actual British Airborne Radio Jeep, a 1943 Ford GPW. This Jeep came to Sweden in 1956 and stayed with the same owner up until one year ago when Emil bought it. I can send you pictures of his vehicle, as well as my own (February 12 1945) Dodge WC51, marked as an ambulance of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force.

Hi, Goran!!!

 

Please, check this article:

 

http://www.taringa.net/posts/imagenes/15232437/Argentinos-voluntarios-en-la-2-guerra-mundial-en-la-RAF.html

 

These men were mostly descendents from british pioneer in Patagonia, and fought against Axis forces in numerous missions.

Some descendents of german community fought too, but in the other side.

 

Please, excuse my bad English.

 

Greetings, Julian.

Hola Julian, su Inglés está muy bien. Todos somos muy afortunados de estas maravillosas herramientas a nuestra disposición, Goggle Translate, etc

 

He estado manteniendo conversaciones que con todos mis amigos en Brasil gracias a estos programas de traducción. Entiendo lo que escriben y entienden lo que escribo, ¿quién necesita más? =)

 

Gracias por el artículo que usted! Voy a traducirlo y leerlo más tarde esta noche.

 

Tengo una serie de nuevas fotos con los Jeeps Airborne Britsih (alrededor de 20 fotos en total) que cada uno me llevó 30-45 minutos para restaurar en Photoshop para una buena calidad. Hay un montón de primeros planos que ayudan enormemente si se desea modelar ellos, de 1:35 o 1:06 de la escala del dragón uno.

 

Estoy en medio de los preparativos para un diorama, en 01:35 escala que ofrecen dos de Dodge WC51 "bips" de Brasil y una tienda de campaña scratch "TENT, FIRE-RESISTANT, SQUAD, M-1942, OLIVE-DRAB, Stock No. 24-T-320-34" Estación de compensación médica. Usaré delgada de aluminio de latas de refresco Guaraná (en realidad) para construir las paredes y el techo de la tienda. He buscado por toda la Internet para un modelo de la tienda M9142 Squad, pero ni eso ni la M1934 carpa piramidal es actualmente producido por.

 

saludos

 

 

In English:

 

Hi Julian, Your English is just fine. We are all very lucky to these wonderful tools at our disposal, Goggle Translate, etc.

 

I have been keeping conversations going with all my friends in Brazil thanks to these translation programs. I understand what they write and they understand what I write, who needs more? =)

 

Thank you for the article! I will translate it and read it later tonight.

 

I have a series of new photos with Britsih Airborne Jeeps (around 20 pictures in all) that each took me 30-45 minutes to restore in Photoshop to a good quality. There are plenty of close ups that help tremendously if you want to model them, in 1:35 or even the Dragon scale 1:6 one.

 

I am in the middle of preparations for a diorama, in scale 1:35 featuring two Brazilian Dodge WC51 "Beeps" and a scratchbuilt "TENT, FIRE-RESISTANT, SQUAD, M-1942, OLIVE-DRAB, Stock No. 24-T-320-34" medical clearing station. I will use thin aluminium from soda cans (Guaraná actually) to build the walls and the roof of the tent. I have looked all over the internet for a model of the M9142 Squad tent, but neither that nor the M1934 Pyramidal Tent is presently being produced.

 

Greetings

 

This is the photo of the clearing station of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force that I will be building a diorama out of:

(Notice the three gasoline Jerrycans placed at the entrance. They were almost certainly used to fuel one of the two heaters usually used in the M1942 Squad Tent)

Hi Goran!!!:

 

I have 5 or 6 1/35 scale kits of the Willys MB from Italeri to restore. The Ambulance jeep and Commando car were very popular kits some years ago. Justly I purchased one kit for to make the airborne version, and another for the railway version, used in Burma and Italy.

You have beauty vehicles and excelent pics.

 

Greetings, Julian.
