Thank you Mr lmcq11 for our fifth marvellous submission
And to anyone wondering "a Jeep in a truck competition?" We have been there done that and have historic proof the Jeep was classified as a light truck during WW11, and yes, I too was surprised.

Yes, indeed, the Jeep was classified as a 1/4 ton truck (enough to handle me and six or so RC tanks). In the Red Ball Express the bumpers read TRK over a number. e.g.
TRK

Jhamm,
Nice, huge Kraz! That's some complicated undercarriage there!
Louis,
Another amazing offering of yours! Absolutely stunning SAS Jeep! We'd expect nothing less from you! "Those Who Dare, Win"!
Tiger6,
Great White scout car! Always preferred their look to the M16 half track design.
This is going to be fun!
Cheers,
Eric.

That arrangement of markings was only used on rear bumpers, and was not unique to the Redball express. On the front bumper it would still have read TRK-2.Herr Dr. Professor wrote: In the Red Ball Express the bumpers read TRK over a number. e.g.

Its the only decent picture I could find, and thanks to George Bradford's incompetence, its about 1" (not 1 scale inch!) too long which you can't see from this angleSon of a gun-ner wrote:Thank you Mr Tiger6 for our sixth marvellous submission

Thank you Mr tomhugill for our seventh marvellous submission
Yes Tom, it fits in nicely with this month's theme, but sadly it does not comply with the TOTM rules, you have 9 visual representations, tut tut, come on man, you used to run the TOTMtomhugill wrote:Hope this one fits in the rules Mick.
