1-76th scale Fordson WOT1 Fire Tender

Post by oldgit »

Chaps,

Can anyone please tell me if an early, canvas cab version of the Fordson WOT1
6x4 Crash Tender is available in 1-76th or 172nd scale?

Failing anything being available, I'm wondering whether I can 'kitbash'
the Airfix Austin K6 with a cast metal
WOT1 GS truck front end and hack about the tank, pumps and hoses to be
more representative of the WOT1.

Has anyone attempted this?

Thanks,

Tim

Matador Models do a WOT 1. Not in a crash tender version though and I'm not certain if it's "canvas cab" or not. This is their website.

I have an old resin kit of a WOT 1 balloon winch and the Matador cab does look different to the solid cab on mine. My kit was made by a company called Trux Models who appear to be no longer in business. See this http://theminiaturespage.com/man/trux/.

Sorry I can't be more help
