Tractor unit recovery ... Korea 1950 (ish) (in 1/76)

[Guest]

Nice comments ... thank you chaps

Got a few extras scratched up and added, front signage and numberplate for example.

Started to paint the little details such as indicator lenses etc, few more things to do yet

Had to root through my decal spares to get some extras (the ones in the kit are very basic), although not authentic at all, they add a bit of extra detail which im happy with.

Superb little truck Colin. And nice detailing for such a small model too.

[Guest]

Superb work Colin.

When I see the size.....well, I'm more impressed

[Guest]

Got the tractor and trailer finished bar some final weathering to blend into diorama and the extra ropes cables and stuff that can only really be added when in situ, have added the ropes in the basket just as an extra detail.

Hi Colin,

Brilliant work Sir, as Tony mentioned, it looks bigger than it actually is, nice touch with the rope...

Thanks guys, nice comments

The tractor unit has fairly nice detail (Morris CS8 15cwt) ... theres a bit of flash cleaning and trimming to be done as i expect from airfix but its not that bad .... this is the bottom of the chassis.

Great work!! Simply excellent!!

[Guest]

Bit more done, still a fair bit of flash to clean off but i'm quite pleased with the detail of the moulding, just a little bit of filling to do with tippex and i can slap some colour on it

A few "in order" shots

Now this stuff isn't usually my bag, but I can't wait to see how the dio turns out. Great work !

Cheers, Neil

[Guest]

Thanks Si and Neil.

Made an alteration to the canvass on the back of the truck, the other colour looked too bright at this scale even with a wash.
