Nigel Foster60 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I have just managed to acquire a couple of 1/72 scale (approximately) Bedford RL's. They are Britains models from the 1960's. I want to use them to create some RAF vehicles for airfield use with my 1/72 scale aircraft. I know they were used in there GS truck versions but wanted to change to something a bit different. I believe they were used as refuellers and ATC vehicles but struggle to find good references. Does anyone have any good references or know of any. Thanks in anticipation for any kind replies.

Dave Fleming Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 The AIX Airfield Vehicles forum is usually a good place to start - it can be a bit difficult to search as its sorted on roles and not types, and you need to be a mambers to search, but there is a wealth of info on there: http://www.airfieldinformationexchange.org/community/forumdisplay.php?33-Airfield-Vehicles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel You have to be careful on this, a lot of the RAF Airfield support vehicles were not RL but Bedford S type which used the same basic cab but were largely 2 wheel drive. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=bedford+s+type&rlz=1C1CHWA_enGB616GB616&espv=2&biw=1366&bih=701&site=webhp&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=UCghVZLiD8qdsAG7m4SgAw&ved=0CCsQsAQ Selwyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
