Monty's Caravan it was never going to be. Check out this link for a very cool job on this kit http://plasticwarriors.blogspot.com.au/2014/11/magic-matchbox-monty-model.html?view=classic
I had my bridging engineer unit in mind for this truck. The Leyland Retriever served throughout WW2 in a variety of roles; Leyland also built the Cromwell tank from 1943
Still some details to do with paintwork and decals. Nice model. In CD3, this can carry a whole company.
Nice looking model Al. Are you going to muck it up with some dirt to make it look beaten up a bit?
ReplyDeleteI need to try that Anne, I've never really attempted the 'weathered look'

ReplyDeletesame is to old time

Classic Bridging lorry Al. Looks good mate.
ReplyDeletevery good job, a useful adding!
ReplyDeleteI love the British heavy trucks; one company per vehicle cuts down on the traffic jams.
ReplyDeleteThanks lads, you can always use more trucks, unless, like now, you have a pathetically small table :(
