Mancunian airman Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I have had these for a while in the stash and as my mojo has been at the bottom floor level I thought I would give myself a small boost . . . . I intend to build one as a 3-ton GS vehicles and one with a Coles Crane on the back . . . I shortened the jib from the Coles Crane vehicle in the 'RAF Recovery set' so have made a start . . .

Mancunian airman Posted August 24, 2022 Author Share Posted August 24, 2022 Looking for some spares I came across these two Leyland Retreivers, rather dusty and in need of some light repair and possibly a repaint on the GS lorry . . . I kitted out the Mobile workshop years ago . . . Small bit of progress with the recent builds Chassis constructed with the front wheel axles angled for a change The GS body coming together, Montys caravan body was covered in tissue and hopefully will be successful with its appearance and painted over 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
