The west wing Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Hi, I'm looking to build a model of an Carawagon I owned after it was discharged from Army service. When I purchased it I did not realize how rare a vehicle it was, mine was from the last batch of built for the Britsh Army in 1984. When I sold it on I gave the new owner the history I had discovered. So the plan is to build something from my past, I think in 1/24th as the largest scale I can get for a base 109" series. The Italeri Fire truck looks the best bet for a base vehicle. My question is are there any accessories available in 1/24 to help the build, I'm thinking of camo nets, tow hooks and if possible the Goodyear tyres. Here is a photo of the vehicle, please excuse the tyres! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The west wing Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 Looks good, you have captured the shape of the roof well. What version of the kit is it built on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsman Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Most of the woven 1/35 cam nets are overscale and would work for 1/24. But it isn't a common scale for military bits. While it's an expensive option you might consider cross-kitting a hardtop kit with the patrol/recce kit. That comes with appropriate tyres, double front bumper, rear bumperettes etc. Kit Form Services have 1/24 British jerrycans. It might be worth enquiring of them whether they would sell you any appropriate parts from their S3 ambulance kit. Surprisingly Shapeways don't seem to do anything at all in 1/24 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
