    Jim's Pop Larkin's truck - Pete's wheeled cargo movers GB

    Thanks Pete for organising the GB.

    My build is Pop Larkin's truck from the TV series The Darling Buds of May. I used the 1/35 ICM kit of the G7107 army truck.

    Lovely jubbly (to mix up David Jason's roles), especially love the load bed finish. Now to see if there is a 1/35 Catherine Zeta Jones kit out there ......

                      Thanks for your nice comments. It was a nice kit to build although the finished model is quite fragile.

                      Perfect for the job except for his moustache! David Jason didn't have one. Probably easy to remove but not sure.
