@all
Thanks!

@Andym
Yes, you are right with your point about the mortar loader. The cutouts of the big base sort of forced me to arrange the individual 20mm bases that way, but I think I need to fix this and find a better way and get the loader closer to his mortar. Thanks for the feedback!

So happy! The last US airborne (for now) has left my workbench... Looting Larry. :) Off to something different now. :)

Couldn't resist any longer to paint one of the Matchbox Jeeps for my US boys:









The gunner is pinned and can be removed. The same is true for the machine gun, which I made removable with a magnet. Fun model to paint, but with the second one that I have, I'll be a lot more bold with the initial color modulation for the olive drab base.

Cheers,
Thomas
