Dodge 3/4
ton Weapons Carrier (Israeli Service)
Mark Hazzard
This is the new Skybow Dodge Weapon Carrier, towing a much
modified italeri tanker trailer and is modelled to represent a vehicle of the IDF during
the UN sponsored pull out of Egypt in 1974 (yes they were used that late!), very little
has been added to the kit except some etched brass buckles to the tools, the tilt tie down
points replaced by wire and some plastic rod details on the grill and
windscreen. The chains are silver jewellery chain. The body colour is 2/3 Humbrol 168
(Hemp) plus 1/3 light grey which is a good match for the mid 1970s shade of sand grey. The
chassis and wheels are matt black. The decals are a combination of Verlinden dry rub and
hand painted.
