Airfix Matador fuel truck

[gamevender]

This is from the old Airfix Refueling set. Between this model, with has the twin axel in the rear and the earlier Airfix Matador with the 5.5" gun, which has a single axel, you have all sorts of possibilities for conversions. This one, however, is pretty much OOTB. I did replace the rear doors out of sheet plastic as the kit ones would have looked out of armour plate. I also "busied up" the pumping equipment as that supplied with the kit is a little sparse. Only other additions are headlights, which the kit omits, and glazing for the windows.

Great piece of work....   Got the one with the 5.5 gun in my stash very, very heavy flash on it seeing yours making me want to have a go at it.

A beautiful model,i know what you mean about endless conversion possibilities. I  remember getting a book published by airfix from my local library, that was in 1975 or 76 ,and i know it showed how to do simple conversions, i remember trying a few .Anyway well done 👏
