Fantastic stuff, truly a chrome finish.Very easy to apply. Yes, thanks for the heads up. I'm off to Blighty next week, so I'll have a look in the art shops. John.

Yes, it is a little on the small side. Probably the smallest 1/35th scale model that I've ever built. Great fun though. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScanmanDan Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 A wonderful model expertly built and superb paintwork. I have a 1/48th scale Tilly and your build makes tackling it a breeze. Thank you for taking the time to share your beautiful model. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also added a positive and negative lead to the batteries. … to echo other's accolades: fantastic attention to detail. Q: with a vehicle of so light proportions & power output, why the need for double batteries? I just got this kit and am thinking of only installing a single. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the batteries, I'm not really sure. The only thing that comes to mind (those with more knowledge can put me right if I'm wrong) is that they are possibly two 6 volt batteries, connected in series. John.

Black Knight Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Its more likely two 6v in parallel, for 6v and more amperage to run a radio and the lights. Through the 1930s right up to the late 1950s vehicles were 6v and positive earth 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Knight Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 well now, there ya go, it is a 12v system. It must have been a military requirement as any pre-WW2 Austin I know is 6v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 There's also a yellow Reliant three wheeler in that film. As they drive along side a tall wall, it can be seen in the field on the right I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
