xffw45343tg Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 You're welcome. After all, this is a fantastic model and your skills are awesome - so we can all wait as long as it takes until service is resumed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightersweep Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 @Ripaman Got me thinking. Did you ever finish that Trumpy 1/24 Hurricane? That was looking pretty special. Steve 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripaman Posted July 18, 2021 Author Share Posted July 18, 2021 Thought I would start putting pictures back into this partial build, still more to put in. Regards Richard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mancunian airman Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) Hope you dont mind Richard but here is my converted 35th scale 4x4 Matador to the 6x6 matador refuelling vehicle . . . (Photo's of the not quite finished model) Its not got the intricate detail yours has Rich but as a basic modeller, I'm happy with it. I look forward to seeing the photos re-appearing and reading through the build again . . . Ian Edited July 20, 2021 by Mancunian airman 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenmadengineer Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Just found your epic journey..........wow. If your still looking for Coles pictures, there is a Thornycroft Amazon Walk round posted on tinternet by grubbyfingersshop.com and almost half the pics are of a 'naked' mk7 Coles. All four 6v batteries are mounted under seats, according to the drivers manual. (4WD). Looking forward to the next instalment...........

Steve Hi Steve thanks for looking in and also thank you for the website there are some nice pictures of the machinery inside the coles crane, do you have a the drivers manual and if so where can you get a copy? would be nice to see what the 6V batteries look like and size.

greenmadengineer Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 HI Richard The drivers manual was a free download from cupdf.com_aec-matador-drivers-handbook.pdf hope the link still works. There are no pictures of the batteries in their correct place, only in a temp box where the cab rear will go. Will shout if I find anything better.

The picture in the drivers handbook shows a rear view of a cabless ( but with floor,engine cover and front panel) two axle Matador, with the 4 batteries mounted transversely across the chassis just to the rear of the cab, in a fairly substantial box. I presumed that this was a temp. assembly prior to fitting the cab and body. The batteries appear to end up fitted under the front row of seats in the body. ie under the gunners seats. Sadly this won't help you. I can't find any pictures or references to batteries on the 3axle chassis, and I don't think the box you have beside the fuel tank is big enough for the batteries. In the picture I have, the battery box is almost the full width of the chassis at the rear of the cab. Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
