funny enough on another forum im about to join a GB converting Airfix braille scale kits ..........im planning on changing the Morris CDSW from the Bofors kit into a light recovery vehicle like this
next project...........made a start on the Bofors gun cos thats going to be on the sideline anyway,,,,,,,,doing it in travelling position so it can be just parked up in a corner but the Morris CD is going to get converted into a light recovery vehicle

I'm looking forward to watching the recovery vehicle come together.
bit of bodging required
thought i had some Evergreen plastic angle that would do for the crane bit but it turned out way to big so bit of improvising with two slim cocktail sticks and some stretched sprue
see what its like after some primer, if no good then back to the drawing board
as you can see its way too small for my chubby fingers to be accurate, and since its just for set dressing then 'near enough is good enough'

Great work. I'm following closely. I'm sure it will be a good finale.
Only just found this thread.....
..... Had a quick read through and think it's come along great
A cracking idea, well thought and done......looks like it's an "ever evolving/ expanding" set up too!
Lovely stuff Paul !!

Oh a flying suitcase. Not seen one on here yet (I don't think). I will look forward to seeing this one.
Yeah,me too....
.... I've always kinda liked these things, very quirky looking/ugly looking... But just something alluring about them!
