Pushy,
This one was once at the Packenham Military Museum in Army Road. I can't remember if it was a Chev or Ford but I think it was a Ford. The museum collection was shifted to Moama NSW. Ian Ledwick(?) still has quite a number of vehicles in that area including a Stuart Tank which was left for a long time beside the Nar Nar Goon hotel after he drove it there for a drink and either ran out of fuel or had a mishap of some kind.

Regards Rick

You'd be game putting a carrier on one of those semis... and the truck is a Chev.

Now Keith, he didn't say what size carrier, did he? I reckon you could get quite a load of 1/35 carriers on there without much strain on the old girl, eh?
