Proposed truck group build

[Mickc1440]

So I’m good just building the Truck Tractor only that pulls the trailer? Probably the best way to simplify this whole thing is ALL trucks are welcome

Snap Lee, got my eye on a Scania in 1/24

To put it simply if it says truck on the box it's in

Starting at beginning of August to the end of the year

Hmm - I've got a Revell ( Italeri ) Iveco Stralis in the stash - I haven't made a 1/24 truck for many years that may be a strong candidate!
Then again I've 3 months to change my mind..................................

Okay, so, here's mine.


Perrys 28mm resin and white metal AEC Matador.
I've always wanted to do an early BEF version, with the different cab roof. This is also the artillery tractor version, with crew seating, so I'm thinking either as is but turning the back into a GS without tilt. Whether I make the wheels 'handed' is another option.
Or a post war civilian version, of which something like 750+ were built. If I can find a decent colour scheme...

I was going to asks for a pic of your choice Mick. I’m really leaning towards not building a American Truck and going with a Scania, Volvo, Mercedes, MAN I have a lot of these in 1/87 scale thanks for sharing

Yes so it throws up to a lot more

Love that second photo Jakko. Right up your street. You'll have to build it sometime.

I already bought the Bronco 1:35 scale Piper Cub last year or so for exactly that reason I don’t have a GMC kit yet, though (and it would probably end up needing two: Hobby Boss for the chassis and load bed, Italeri for the cab), nor any real idea of what the racks in the load bed looked like to carry the Cub.

Well done Pete. You got this pulled together in double quick time. I'll close this thread and file it away.
Will make the normal GB thread .
