Okdoky Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Hi Ferny That is a nice bit of kit. Love the detail they have picked out in the white metal. Will look nice once painted. Nige
Diesel Gypsy Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 That’s vey nice Ferny. An unusual & interesting subject that’s going to look lovely when painted. Can you tell me more about BW kits? I’m not familiar with this manufacturer.

Diesel Gypsy Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 A Foden Wrecker aye, I like the sound of that. Cheers Ferny I'll check em out.
ferny Posted January 24, 2009 Author Posted January 24, 2009 Cab and chassis finished so are the 3 rear body sections
Richard E Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 That’s vey nice Ferny.An unusual & interesting subject that’s going to look lovely when painted. Can you tell me more about BW kits? I’m not familiar with this manufacturer. They produce a very interesting range of military and some civilian vehicles from 1945 to date and also sell directly. Unless they've moved in the last couple of years their address is: Hillcrest Kirk Brae Cuminestown Turriff Aberdeenshire AB53 5YZ HTH Richard

Evalman Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 I have a couple of these kits but haven't got around to them yet. I haven't heard from BW for years and am glad to see they are still around. Your version looks like the Mark 10C, with a larger engine compartment at the rear compared to original Mark 10s. This Mk10C was from one of your local airfields, RNAS Yeovilton, 1988. I think they were retired by about 2000.

I think they were retired by about 2000. Excellent work-you have captured the prototype beautifully.Really lovely job. I quite fancy the very old Tamiya 1/12 fire engine kit but at the time I found red hard to paint but this was pre airbrushes and acrylics so it should be easier now. Kind regards, rob
