AoS Number 1st Rocket Battery RCA

[Jakko Westerbeke]

Thanks for those photos — I have the Resicast kit in my stash, I’m sure they will come in handy when I get round to building it

I have neglected to check this site for updates lately but a friend Dick Harley indicated there were some responses so thanks for all the input re my request. As I was never to determine the AoS for the 1st Cdn Rocket Bty. I opted play it safe and to portray the vehicle as one from the 6th LAA Regt. 112 Bty who were selected to train on using the Land Mattress and eventually became the cadre for the 1st Rocket Bty. If interested, I post my models on Facebook sites including the MAFVA site:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/478175569040094 (just scroll down a few posts).

and have also put it on the WW2 Talk forum here:

https://ww2talk.com/index.php?thread...ttress.105443/

Thanks again to all for your kind input and a special thanks to Alex van der Wetering for all the detailed photos.

Cheers,

Neil

Terrific result, Neil! Please also post one or two pictures here on the forum; I am sure others would also like to see the result that don't have access to facebook or ww2talk . (i can post them for you, but I rather leave the honor to you).

That's exactly what I would have done .....and to me it also sounds very credible that given the timeframe, the AoS stayed the same.

Thanks very kindly Alex for your generous comments. I posted some model photos some years ago and was reminded that this is not a forum for models but if you would like to see them here, I will post them. If it is not permitted, the moderators can feel free to take them down.

Cheers,

Neil

Good-looking model, too bad about the nameplate

Neil, I would like to reiterate Alex's comments on your very nice models!
As this is a forum about the Canadian Army Overseas in World War II - read https://www.mapleleafup.nl/legacy/about.html - models are equally welcome as real vehicles and all other aspects.
Please feel free to share more of your work and ask the MLU members for input and info to make more of them.

Thank you very much Hanno for the very kind comments. I model mainly British and Canadian soft-skins and have about 50 of my Canadian models on permanent display at the Regimental Museum of the Grey and Simcoe Foresters in Barrie, Ontario. I will post a couple of my recent scratch-builds here for now but perhaps a new category could be set up for Canadian Military Models where myself and other modellers of Canadian vehicles could display their work.

Cheers,

Neil
