Don't think I've ever seen the AEC 0854 done with an early cab before or the Bedford in it's true WW2 form.
Excelent result on both.

Supply to US forces in the UK for the same reason (seems unlikely).
Perhaps not as unlikely as you think.
Why risk shipping paint from the US if it could be produced in the UK and more valuable/critical items shipped accross the Atlantic instead. Factor in not only the demand for the US army & UK conversion of equipment but also that of the USAAF, who were in combat and patch painting repairs to battle damaged aircraft and there's probably a sizeable demand.
There is clearly a need to understand the usage of UK produced olive drab & I doubt after 80 years It's going to be easy.

'Wings of the RAF' confirms that RAF supplies in the 80's remain much the same as it had been since the 20's i.e. by fuel supply companies own road tankers. It does acknowledge limited direct rail & pipe line supplies.
Fuel supply contracts were most probably placed by the MOD and not by each individual service arm and supplies to army & naval bases were probably the same. Heavy fuel for ships would be one exception probably rail.
I'm intrigued by the OP comment a to a functional diorama it gives me visions of real fuel being pumped between rail tanks & road tanks & the road tanks driving off*.
*I am aware OO die cast vehicles have been motorised, but never carrying a load.

Updated my Calander thursday night to include (known) upcoming shows, this is definatetly in as it's never been a disappointment. Though, with the bargains to be had, it has been expensive @ times.

Just looking at that last link, if the official mix requirement is as imprecise as "a mixture of 40-60% yellow ochre, 15-20% zinc chromate, 10% ultramarine and 10-20% white" there's a high probabilty the suggested Tamiya mix will fit somwhere in the ball park.

Drives me mad! Would it be that difficult to have signs that said "Left turn/Right turn ahead closed" ? Add a distance for bonus points
Well, more signs to purchase, bigger vans to carry the extra signs, van crews that can read, training them to understand the difference between left, right & ahead, a team leader that is qualified to make the executive decisions required and carry out risk assessments, ...
Easier and more fun to plonk a one-size fits all sign out and confuse the public.

Of course in the late 70's / early 80's there was a whole genre of music that lay behind every teen's inability to get out of bed

laser cut 3mm MDF
Ensure you seal the surface before glueing anything to it as the MDF will absorb water*, soften and loose what little strength it has. Ply does not suffer to the same extent as MDF.
* including water from PVA type glues & that contained in acrylic paints.

Unless it's for fun, I'm not sure why you'd go to the effort of trying to 3d print barbed wire when miniature barbed wire is avalable cheaply
Check out the bottom of page 319. (other sources available)

But we all know all multi engined Itallian planes had three engines, two for flight & one spare, I can't see the third here. Was the intention to place it below for lift whilst changing direction?
