                        Interesting build, and you have made a nice start.

                        I think Academy really missed a trick with this set by useing that fuel truck. That bomb loader is the only German one i know of and could be really useful. If they had put in a different fuel truck, i would buy half a dozen of these sets instead of just the one.

                        I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

                        Instead to at least duplicate the loader, the academy put 8 little fuel cans :)

                        Ye, i am thinking of making resin copies of it, when i get around to getting the stuff i need.

                        How is it going together.
