More M-38 Jeeps





















This is a rear view of the ambulance version. You can see there is quite an overhang which was typical for these small vehicles.





















This time a watercooled .30 caliber machine gun has been mounted in the back of the Jeep. While not typical, sometimes watercooled machine guns were mounted on vehicles. Without the cooling watercan they ability to keep the barrel cool is limited. Note the white square in the back of the vehicle, I have removed the rear set and replaced it with a square of styrene to make an open space for the gunner.




















Roco gave us the 106mm recoilless rifle version and I modified it a little by placing the fuel can and spare tire on the side, as I have seen them that way in photos.




















Another Jeep with radio mounts. These radio mounts are very easy to do using parts from the Roco M-151 Jeep or one of their accessory sets. They really make a big upgrade in the Jeep.

I have used Roco models in all these photos but the same conversions can be done in other scales or using other versions of the Jeep, the Willys, M-151 both had similar versions of most of these with the US and other armies.
