Brian, any new photos of your Little John? After your reply, I found and bought one. I didn’t have to finance it to the extent you did, but let’s just say I am getting along well without some redundant internal organs. And another site member liked mine so much, he just acquired one!
I plan to build mine when our renovations are complete.
No - sadly no progress other than getting it into primer. They are indeed pretty rare!
The plan is to replace the Jeep with a Tamiya one converted to an M38, which I thought might be more appropriate for the timescale, and an improvement on the Monogram effort… I’ll use the Plus Model conversion set, which whilst I know isn’t perfect, will get an effect I feel.
Thereafter, I don’t think I’ll do much to the missile or its launcher as what research I have been able to achieve - not much - shows the experimental version pretty much as Monogram have it.
I’ll finish the missile in plain OD with US Army in white as per one of these (top left):
