Proposed truck group build

[peterairfix]

So can we build just the Truck Tractor that pulls trailers and not add a trailer? If not may have to decide on something else’s

Having another thought on this there a lots of ways that can define the meaning of a truck so I suppose you can build the main truck and add a trailer as with my big scania is defined as a truck that can pull different loads ie: trailers

So I’m good just building the Truck Tractor only that pulls the trailer? Probably the best way to simplify this whole thing is ALL trucks are welcome

I think my original posting sums it up in one

a post war truck that has been sold on into civilian service.

That’s one of my two ideas as well. I would build a model of probably this GMC:

… since it will fit nicely with the Sherman Crab I built a few years ago, seeing as how that is being towed here

This is the straightforward idea, as it just needs an open-topped GMC converted to have an enclosed cab. The other idea is more involved:

That’s a GMC truck carrying a Piper Cub observation aircraft. This was commonly done during the war, judging by photos, but is a lot to build. I doubt I’d finish it even in four months, knowing my usual building habits and speed

Love that second photo Jakko. Right up your street. You'll have to build it sometime.

Snap Lee, got my eye on a Scania in 1/24

To put it simply if it says truck on the box it's in

Nice choice Peter that Thermoking Reefer unit we ran a lot of those here in the U.S.

My victim will be this, looks more advanced than my last build, how many months?

Starting at beginning of August to the end of the year

Hmm - I've got a Revell ( Italeri ) Iveco Stralis in the stash - I haven't made a 1/24 truck for many years that may be a strong candidate!
Then again I've 3 months to change my mind..................................

Okay, so, here's mine.


Perrys 28mm resin and white metal AEC Matador.
I've always wanted to do an early BEF version, with the different cab roof. This is also the artillery tractor version, with crew seating, so I'm thinking either as is but turning the back into a GS without tilt. Whether I make the wheels 'handed' is another option.
Or a post war civilian version, of which something like 750+ were built. If I can find a decent colour scheme...
