    thanks guys . yea I thought about a winch but they really didnt have them in wwII did they? plus theres no provisions for electric output on the engine. I could make it pto driven i suppose. or even manual. Id rather have a anti tank gun to tow around but thats for a later date

    WWII jeeps had a capstan winch as an option which doesn't have cable spun on drum and shaft is vertical only supported on one end. (Google, common in marine.) But that doesn't change your electrical issue! Very cool BTW.

    They were also very uncommon, even towards the end of the war.

    I was kinda half joking with my comment.

    For a period correct miniature like that, I think a machine gun would be cool.
