An ideal project
 

Just imagine turning your F15 into one of these... it's the SC1, built in Australia for the Americans... certainly one of the most obscure CMP versions around. Sort of like a mini White Scout Car with the gun rail.

Sort of like the Aussie "F15TA" 15-cwt Truck, Armoured?

Thanks for the pic, but no thanks for the project, as that gun rail is perfect for bumping your head!

H.

I love the look of that one. Any more pics Keith showing side/front/rear views for a possible model?

cheers

Hi Cliff

This is the only other pic I have:

Almost enough. If you happen to find a pic of the front at some stage please post it. That is one unusual beast though.

thanks and
Cheers

Cliff, Mike Cecil's excellent AUSTRALIAN MILITARY EQUIPMENT PROFILES, VOL 3, AUSTRALIAN SCOUT AND ARMOURED CARS 1933 TO 1945, ISBN 0 646 14611 4 has a couple of very good pics of this beast. It doesn't look too hard to model to me, but then i am not a modeller.

You're closer than the rest of us, Cliff, there's one of these on display in Beck's Military museum at Mareeba:smoker: (<- Queenslander with sunnies).

Thanks guys I really appreciate the extra pics. I will do this one as soon as I finish the Mack, Dodge and CMP 11 cab that I am scratchbuilding.

cheers

You mean a model - not an actual vehicle, right?!?

H.

No, an actual vehicle.

LOL now I am trying to work out where Mareeba is in relation to where I live and also whether my wheelchair has the power storage capacity to get me there! LOL:yappy:

thanks Tony
Cliff:salute:

EDIT well at 1500 plus K away a bit far for the wheelchair but....but still within reach as I planned a trip to cairns soon anyway by rail and Mareeba is only 66 K west of there. Tony what else in in Becks museum?

Hi Cliff, This collection used to be in Townsville. The owner, Sid Beck, if I remember correctly, moved it to Mareeba in the late 1980s. He had a great aircraft collection. I seem to remember he had a Bell P39 Airacobra, one of those which crashed out of fuel on Cape York in 1942, as well as a Canberra and a Neptune SP2H.

try a Google search maybe.

Cheers
Rod

:eek: - didn't know there was one left. Surprising what a man can find in the Aussie outback, eh?
Google search for Beck museum Mareeba

H.

Thanks Hanno. Did the Google last night and I guess they are behind times a bit as there was not much info on the websites. Did discover that he indeed has the plane that crashed on Cape York all those years ago.

thanks
Cheers

PS> almost forgot. Have started planning the big trip to see just what is in that part of the world.

Looks like just the conversion for my Mercedes A
