Fmk.6john Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Now here's a thing, after seeing these Daz it's just joggled my very vague memory, when I was a spotty 14 year old I worked on these at a place called Lancaster Truck and Trailer in my hometown, it was for work experience and I will never forget trying to heave in the gearbox and transfer box, all done by hand for some reason. Also spent an enjoyable week pulling off the wheels and reconditioning the running gear and oils seals, happy as a pig in do do!!!. JB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bexwh773 Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 Where's the C of G on it for an easy take off then Bexy Babe, good progress so far me ol' darlin', knew we'd make a treadie of you one day, you're doomed lassie, DOOMED Daz, JB, thanks guys Pete (Smudge) thanking you muchlys PanzerPete, thanks hun You got no chance of converting me This is a one off, no more ClankyTankyWheely Thingys for me thank you velly muchlys Ok this afternoons efforts then, got a couple of tiny bits to repaint where I slipped with 'airystick on the chassis, springs, wheels & engine block done Got exhaust to paint before it goes on and couple of storage bins and the batteries. Cab still needs doing, and cargo area just needs black blotches and the canopy ropes picking out. Now then, this vehicle is being painted from mine and my Dads memories of driving them, also, she will be representing the condition of a loaned vehicle being returned to its parent unit from me & Da Boss (Not Mike, but me Dad ) When we borrowed a vehicle, it always went back absolutely gleaming no matter what state we got it in, and apart from during the Falklands & when Ol' Maddas (Saddam) decided to invade Kuwait, we never got turned down for a wagon loan.

06/24 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 (edited) Nice work Bex. Taylor Plastic Models does a replacement metal grille for these things - his part number 4-B2 for £1.50 - I'm going to order some for my Tac refueller http://www.tpmodels.co.uk/ No connection with Bernard (TPM) but as a railway modleller I know his stuff has a v. good reputation. What colour are you using Bex? I tried painting my GS in Tamiya Nato Green but it looks far to green and not grey enough for the colour I expect Bedfords to be. My Father has a friend with an ex Army MJ recovery truck, so I should have some pictures to post soon. Edited July 27, 2008 by 06/24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz greenwood Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Hi O6/24 and welcome to BM. Tamiya NATO Green is a colour for relatively modern NATO equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06/24 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 (edited) Hi O6/24 and welcome to BM. Thanks Daz. Always a bit nervy making a first post! Tamiya NATO Green is a colour for relatively modern NATO equipment. Yeah I thought so. Looks like it would be OK for German stuff and so on in NATO three colour etc. What do folk recommend for British IRR green? I reckon Humbrol Bronze Green looks the part for RAF ground equipment etc, but its waay too dark for Army frontline stuff Edited July 27, 2008 by 06/24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bexwh773 Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 Hi 06/24, Im using Revell Matt 65. In over 10 years driving these Old Ladies, I never once came across a "uniform" colo(u)r scheme for them. Even Daz has his GS in a scheme that Ive driven, camo bodywork and plain green canvas canopy Ive even driven gloss plain green too Latest update then, nearly done, got a few little niggles to touch up as you might spot from the photos and the only part of the clear cab I masked off was the windscreen so just have the wipers to paint now. Im rumaging through my box of bits to see if I can scratch build a couple of bits that dont come with the kit.
