USAF support vehicles

Sorry for the necropost, but I'm looking for more information/pictures on two jeeps.

The first one is already pictured on the first page in this thread, the 'three wheeled' usmc jeep. I've only ever seen one other picture with it being used as an aircraft handling vehicle.

The second jeep I'm looking for is a 'follow me' or other airfield radio vehicle where someone had put the clear nose glazing from a B-17 on the top of the roof as a viewing dome of some sort. I saw a single picture of one back in college and nothing since.

I've just picked up the 1/48 Tamiya jeep (light vehicle) and have been wanting to build one or both of these for a long time.

Thanks,

ADDModeler

Ci scusiamo se sono stato un po' lento nel seguire questo argomento, ma ecco alcune delle cose che abbiamo nel SIG....

Cerchiamo sempre di aumentare la gamma di cose che abbiamo, ma non c'è molto là fuori a livello di modelli. Abbiamo alcuni camion dei pompieri e pickup pressofusi di cui stiamo cercando di verificare la scala e l'utilizzo, ma per il resto l'unico materiale in plastica in movimento è l'Academy M35 e il Trumpeter Stryker.

Grazie a tutti coloro che hanno postato le foto e soprattutto a Mark che vince un giro gratuito su un C-130 per questa citazione! :pollice su:

"Amico, ho provato a mordermi la lingua questo fine settimana ma non posso resistere. I carrelli elevatori sollevano le cose, le caricano sui camion e i camion le spostano dal punto A al punto B!"

Saluti,

Good evening, I wanted to know the blue of the USAF vehicles, what code would it be? Since in some photos it looks like a dark blue and others a lighter blue and in some films it looks like a dark blue.
Thanks for the help you can give me

Generally known as 'Strata Blue', the colour used was FS15045.

Apparent variations were often the result of the environments in which the vehicles operated - they all started out shiny and fresh, but many ended up faded and matt...

@deny1 You are most welcome.  The difficult part will be in sourcing the multitude of titles, serial numbers & stencils for these vehicles; white or yellow on blue (or red) and black & red on yellow vehicles.  The link to the Tech Order that Andy sent you has all the gouge!

Thanks again for the help, in fact the biggest problem is the letters. But working on the 1/87 scale is a little easier since you can skip many of the letters. I use the 1/87 because for the means it is well supplied especially for more modern years. Instead the 1/72 for modern land vehicles there are not many.
Thank you all

Did you notice the fun fact, Dutch, that the dark green specified in the T.O. for USAF vehicles and equipment is FS24052 - aka Marine Corps Green! 🤣

Some excellent photos starting from 2008. Well OK the few which survived are fab!!!!

Sad that the rest have been deleted thanks to the service provider.

I would have been more than interested to have a look at them! Oh well, next time.

 

Best regards

Gabor
