Printed Cushman Model 53 "Airborne"

Post by Herr Dr. Professor »

This little scooter came from Battleground Models. Last winter, I ordered it with mounds of other nifty printed items in 1/16 for my dream to do a 1/16 diorama and for the fun of (minor) assembling and painting the models as a break from other projects.

I have the paint clear-coated and ready for a touch of weathering, but I couldn't wait to show some photos. I get a kick out of this little scooter.

Here are two photos just for fun:

Dang thing won't run!

Reminds me of the one supplied to British Paras in WW2:

although I'd say that the US offering is a tad less spartan, and certainly beefier, than The Brit model.
