Thanks Bish and Terry,
The Doog,
I didn't take this picture at the right angle, but the tarp is covering half of the barrels. I have better pictures earlier in the thread. as far as scratchbuilding, I tried to scratch a barrel and believe me, the tarp looks better.

Here’s my wee little Kublewagen. I built it in about 30 min, but it seems more like a 1/85 scale than a 1/72. Oh well, I'll get it together and see if it looks out of place in the dio.
Cool tiny kit though.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Nice start on the Kubel Steve. I have a few of these though not build one yet, but I have heard come across any mention of issues with the scale. I will dig one out today and compare to to the Hase and Italeri ones i have in the stash.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Thanks Bish, that would be great to know if there is a difference.  I was eyeballing the Hasegawa kit with the motorcycle if I need to get a different one.  A motorcycle would be cool in the scene as well.

Right, I just compared all 3. I was a little mistaken in that I have built one of the Academy kits. I have so many box's of 72nd vehicles, especially German ones for use in Dio's, that I forget what I have and have not built. The Academy and Hasegawa kits are identical in size. I compared various parts and they all match. The Italeri is a fraction, and I mean a small fraction, bigger. All 3 are broken down in a similar way. But the Academy seems the most detailed of the 3.

I just checked my previous posts and I used the Academy kit with my He 111Z. Looking at it now it seems fine to me, I have a figure right next to it and it looks in scale to my eye.

I should mention that mine if not fom this Fw 190 kit but from Academy vehcile set which comes with a jeep and ketten. So i am assuming its the same Kubel.

I finally completed the Mortar diorama last night. I could keep adding more and more, but I have other thinks to do. I do need to put a label on it still, but that will take a minute.

 

Lots of pics so be prepared.

As always, comments and critiques welcome.
