JamesP Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 IIRC the main undercarriage/doors differed between the civil and military marks. I noticed this when I built the Welsh Models kit and looked at a walk around of a commercial aircraft. Obviously on addition to the clam shell doors. Anyway I'd be very tempted to do the natural metal finished prototype that appeared at Farnborough Anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radleigh Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Could do a great little diorama of it being unloaded/loaded... Who does 1/144th cars?! Looks great I may add... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Boak Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 For 1/144 cars/trucks look to the model railway fraternity, among the N gauge stuff. Although they may be to 1/148 or 1/152 rather than pure 1/144, this is unlikely to matter. Oxford has some diecasts, but a bit of browsing should find other names. Check Hattons for their listings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithjs Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 British N Gauge for model railways is 1/148th so close enough. In fact I used one of Oxford Diecast's Landrovers in the back of my Beverley. Mind you it plays havoc with the C of G. Looking forward to one of these to go with it.

Looks great I may add... It would make a great 'forced perspective' diorama - with your Mach 2 1/72 scale version....... Mach2 in the front - Mikro-Mir behind - looking like they are lined up - but yards away. Just a thought...... Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
