The Unofficial Airfix Modellers' Forum

Models on the bench at present, excluding the 1/76 Airfix Lee/Grant conversion to a M31 TRV, include the following:
A 1/76 scale Airfix Bedford MK in RAF Livery, which by the way is almost complete as all it needs is some matt varnish over the decals, some highlighting of parts and a light weathering:



I also have a 1/76 Airfix Bedford QL Refueller kit bash, which is still in need of decals, final parts, glazing, highlighting etc:



There is also a 1/76 Airfix/ Matador Models Matador Refueller underway as well:



In 1/48 scale I have a Bedford (bit of a theme going here) MWD that will be made up into a RAF type also. This one will have after market figures as driver and passengers, the driver's body is shown here in the first picture:

A very nice collection - Great work thus far!

Great set of vehicles.

Nice work!

Bedford MK 4 Tonner now complete and off the bench:




Completed using Wee Friends white metal front hook and wheels, gemstones for headlamps and all the tail lights, staples and card for the mirrors and a slice of cotton bud stick with PVA for the front indicators. Decals come from Kingfisher Miniatures.
On to the next one

Now that's nice!

Excellent stuff. It's great to see some military vehicle building going on - quality builds too, that Bedford is a corker.

Very nice looking builds indeed!

Had some kind remarks on another site that if it was photo shopped into a picture it would look real, so I found a backdrop and took another photo:



doesn't look too bad in my opinion

That Bedford is really nice. Must remember the cotton bud tip for the indicators.

Excellent work on those trucks.

As the Bedford has now gone from the bench I decided to have yet another go at the Airfix Cromwell. This time however I thought I'd use a stowage set from SandS Models and also add some HAT British Tanks Riders. After a couple of hours or so I had this:



This is now aside drying before I take a brush to it.

This looks promising Corricon. I like the Cromwell as a subject but as yet have only built the Tamiya kit in 1/35th and have yet to try the smaller scale Airfix effort - by all accounts it is a very good kit.

I like it, this is my fifth version and is certainly very nice to build.
It has a very novel track (its made of one piece of plastic the same as the rest of the kit, but is still slightly springy) although there is a seam completely around the circumference that is a devil of a job to get rid of.

That Bedford does indeed look good with that background.

That Cromwell will look good under paint. I REALLY should build some more small-scale Armour.
