MikeR Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 HobbySearch have a preview of the kit up on their site: LINK and LINK. They're also listing the tractor unit and trailer as separate kits. Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilHendry Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 That's basically the same preview as can be seen on the Thunder Model website. Nothing 'real' - all just 3-D renders. http://www.thundermodel.com/Scammell-TRMU30-TRCU30-Tank-Transporter.html It does look better, so far, than the IBG effort - the cab looks more accurate for one thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeR Posted June 18, 2017 Author Share Posted June 18, 2017 Ah, missed that then. Agreed, based on the renders it does look better than IBG's offering. Looks like Thunder Model may be able to take advantage of not being first on the market. Mike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gumbie Air Services Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 One day I will build this kit.... I must be mad!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don149 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I`m just started with this one . A very detailed engine in spite of having to trim off some injection stalks , some of the parts are tiny , look closely at them and at the illustrations as it`s possible to fit them the wrong way round or even upsidedown , as I did on two occasions . Fortunately spotting my mistakes before the glue set ! . I have the Accurate Armour one in my collection and find the Thunder one even better , and what a difference in price ! . I love this kit , but then I`m old enough to remember them . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocky05d Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 A bit back i posted on Britmodeller that i wished someone would bring out a IP Scammell Tank Transporter . Wish i had kept my wishes to myself ,now i will have to get one . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don149 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 A word of caution Phil , when you get round to building the tractor unit , the winch assembly does not sit " square " across the chassis , the nearside ( left ) is just forward of the right ! . This was one of my mistakes , a planview drawing would have been helpful . Some fine nosed tweezers are a must on this kit . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
