Juan R-S Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Hello all, I am looking for plans to convert the 1/76 Airfix Austin K6 fire engine into a general purpose truck. Apparently the Airfix kit is for a post war version. I saw some pics that the RAF used this vehicle as a standard truck for delivering bomb loads. There is a resin version. However, I thought of doing my own. I believe Bellona( I am that old to remember those publications) did a three view plan. Also Airfix magazine may have done an article too. Any help will be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardcastle Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 I think there was one in the "Airfix RAF vehicles" booklet. I will check and let you know. I can scan and share privately if I find it. Tim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivor Ramsden Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Good memory! Bellona MV Data No.15 has a front and side view of the K6 GS. It's not much but it's a start. I built one waaaay back in the 70s. PM me your email address and I'll send a copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mancunian airman Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Really interesting site, as a RAF vehicle modeller its great to see such a photographic evidence of vehicles that still survive plus a couple of releases by a certain kit producer . . . https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=3207997686195183&set=p.3207997686195183&type=3 https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=3208012392860379&set=p.3208012392860379&type=3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
