Dave very kindly sent me an advance copy of this model. Here are images of the one I built (Images 1-5), along with another image of the actual vehicle that I photographed at last year's Army Heritage Days (Image 6). Also visible is a Dodge touring car/staff car (also in Image 7) that makes an appearance every year here in Carlisle, along with the 1918 Dodge light truck and a Packard WWI cargo truck (Image 8).

The Paper Modelers at Army Heritage Days are very grateful to Dave for designing appropriate handouts for our annual event (Images 9 and 10 from last year's D-Day commemorative event).

One of the nice touches on the D-Day jeep model is that Dave put a mirror image of Pointe du Hoc in the windshield (or windscreen as Dave would say). You can make up your own story about how that 505 PIR jeep made its way to Omaha Beach.

As Dave mentioned, Army Heritage Days will take place on 16-17 May this year. The theme is the American Revolutionary War. We are still working on the nature of the theme handout but we will certainly be handing out the 1918 Dodge light truck and some of the other models from previous years.
