Has anyone had a chance of looking at the new airfix kit. WW2 bomber resuply. Is the fuel truck pulled by another truck for fighters not bombers? BoB model? Are the other veichels ok? Henrik

How can you be so sure of the colours from a almost 70 years old picture. I just mean how was the quality of colour photoes at that time Is it an old black and white photo which have been colourised.

Thank you to all replies I have learned a lot abouth painting of british ww2 veichels. I will just forget the Bedford QL browser for my ww2 spitfirediorama just he planes and fugures. Together with Bedford QL in the Airfix refuelling set was a AEC Matador fuel truck. It it is painted in the right colours will it be ok? Is it a ww2 model?

So my entire idea of the ww2 diorama with a couple spitfires and the Bedford QL has gone. I can stil do it but it will be total unhistoric.

So the Airfix Bedford QL is NOT a WW2 model... another mistake by AIRFIX.

Hej Chris Thank you for the quick reply. I would say it is bad research or none research by Airfix recomending post war colours. Some should tell tem that they have got it wrong. Airfix is selling the truck as a Battle of Britian veichle. How can they do that as far as I know it was not in production until 1941. Have you any idea of the colours inside the tank and cabin

Hi Just joined the forum today as I was doing a bit of colour research. I followed the link above it says Humbrol 77 instead of Humbrol 96 RAF Blue. Is the entire truck painted in that colour? On the front of the box from Airfix the top is painted yellow. If that is correct,? If yes what is the correct yellow colour (Humbrol no,). In the back of the tank there is the pump etc I will give them gunmetalic can't remember the Humbrol no. What colour is the inside of the doors and the inside of the tank ? How is the inside of the cabin painted seats floor etc
