Splash's MK lorry & MK fuel bowser
This is the old JB kit re boxed by Airfix. I spent a lot of time in the back of these in my Naval days.
The kit is simple but well detailed unfortunately you can only build it with the top on.

Re: Splash's MK
My workbench is so full and this kit is small so I have reverted to using a tray.

A coat of green shows the detail in this kit quit well.

Re: Splash's MK
I don't normally do AFV in any scale but I'm enjoying this, I have given the top a light blow over with a slightly lighter green and a pin wash to bring out the detail.
So far I'm happy with the results.

A nice touch is the Cab is transparent.

Re: Splash's MK
That's looking good. I like these old JB kits, the Vickers Light Tank is a good build too.

Re: Splash's MK
Nice work on the canvas. Watch the wheels though, there are different hubs for front and rear.

Re: Splash's MK
This is a great looking kit Splash and for three quid you can't really go wrong - a proper bargain I'd say

Re: Splash's MK
I really is a nice little kit, I do like the transparent cab, being a lazy sod I just sprayed it green then scrapped the paint off the windows.ShaunW wrote:This is a great looking kit Splash and for three quid you can't really go wrong - a proper bargain I'd say

Re: Splash's MK
I'm happy with the way this is turning out time to look at making a base and adding a bit of dirt.
