kkarlsen Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 (edited) Am I the only one being a bit frustrated about the absence of 1/32 vehicles to go with 1/32 aircraft models? So I got this mad idea, using one of the few models available from the last century... Maybe it's possible to make something like this...

Bullbasket Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Many a good tune played on an old fiddle! This is going to be very interesting to watch. Keep going. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 This appeals greatly even though not my usual genre at all. Maybe its though big chunky off road tyres that do it for me. Pulling up a chair on this. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkarlsen Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 (edited) Some more detailing... The radio is from Tamiya's LRDG Chevrolet kit, I also did some extra detailing on the wheels and tyres, removing the hub cab and adding tread to the tyres. To be continued...

stevej60 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Just remembered photographing a similar vehicle at my local museum,not a Humber Snipe but hope the colours on the vehicle and canvas etc will help. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spaddad Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 (edited) Hi Kent, I'm afraid I don't have any photos but I thought it might help if you knew that ACE models produced a 1/72nd Super Snipe 8 cwt truck. Hannants have them in stock item no. Ace ACE72552 Also if you google Humber Super Snipe 8cwt. truck it turns up some photos and drawings, not much I know but maybe a little helpful, models looking good so far, cheers, spad Edited December 1, 2016 by spaddad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
