Many of the allied army's trucks went civillian after world war 2. Police and fire departments made good use of them indeed.

Your Dodge is certainly a good representation of such a vehicle

Thank you for sharing

Looks good.

Nice detail mods and handling of the glass. What kit did you use?

This is a very nicely done build of a one of my all time favorite softskins. The Beep doesn't get enough attention, IMHO, but this build does it justice.

Good to see it in civilian colors, too.

PS - My guess if that this is the Skybow/AFV Club kit.
