goggsy Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Great work. What’s the story with the half cab if you don’t mind me asking? Presumably it’s based on a real vehicle, was there a reason why they were configured like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richellis Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 The cab was from an RAF blue steel missile carrier, one is at Hendon. This truck was re cabbed with one of the ExRAF cabs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richellis Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share Posted October 31, 2017 Thanks, very happy with this build. Have another AEC lorry on the bench, but this will be a very clean model! It will be an ergomatic cab recovery truck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
