help with exters for my 1/35 willy jeep

Imagine what the crew of two or three would need: their persoanl gear and weapons, ammo cans for any mounted machine gun(s), water cans, combat rations, and any comfort items they may have acquired- tents, tarps, blankets, etc.

I built the same kit a while back (lost the hood decals and never actually finished it). Rather than build or find a bunch of boxes I cut up some blue insulation foam stuff into squares and put a tissue tarp over it. Other than the rations crate, all that is under there is foam and a FlaK36 part (The round thing). This might not work as well with the 1919 mounted though. I was just gonna put a BAR or something in there.

Excellent example of K.I.S.S.

There was a download of c-ration boxes floating around the net a while back. Print them out, fold and glue. Easy and cheap. Unfortunately I don't have a copy of them.  Maybe try asking for them here: www.armorama.com

Also, you mentioned water bottles being a part of your load. They weren't around during WWII. Now if you're talking about wine or beer bottles, that's a different story.
