Redesigned the 1:76 version from scratch after visiting the Royal Logistics Corps museum at Worthy Down and taking numerous photos of the original there.

Improvements include a correct design for the lift tower and a skeletal framework for the chassis. The wheels have been redesigned to better match the Bedford RL wheels on the original.

The design is a compromise between accuracy and printability as some of the more complex hydraulics of the original would be unprintable in 1:35 or smaller.

I'm considering selling these (probably in other scales too) if anybody is interested.

This is a test print and I noticed that the lift tower has slightly warped after I'd taken the photos!

Printed on Elegoo Mars 2 Pro in water washable resin.
