WOW,

I haven't been present on the forum for quite a while and in th meantime there have been several responses in this tread, including some nice models from Cliff! Well Done Cliff.

To aswer Howards initial question. I will try to post an updated picture in the upcoming weeks. I have to say that the F60H project still isn't finished, because I have some other projects in progress at the moment (Sherman V Duplex Drive, Sherman ARV 1), but I did manage to make some progress after the picture above was taken. The wrecking gear is nearly finished.

I agree with Cliff that the Ford Quad from Tamiya is not exactly 1/35 and I am also going to scratchbuild my own cab 11 and cab 12 for future projects. The Italeri C15 and Quad are still great kits, especially for their age. I am also very happy with the 10.50 wheels in the " new" Italeri Quad kits, which are plastic rather than rubber like in the old kits.

Howard, there used to be a kit from " Tonda Models" of Czech republic of a Ford F15 in 1/35. But this was done in resin, rather than plastic. Of course this kit is probably even harder to get than the Italeri kit. I started my own " conversion-F15" some years ago, but the project came to a halt, when I realized that the nose section of the Tamiya Cab12 was to wide.

Hope this keeps the tread running,

regards,
