This is stunning Mark :thumb2::thumb2::thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:

Very nice of you to say so John thank you :thumb2: :smiling:

So I now have all the front end bodywork fitted and windows in which were a bit tricky from the inside but for me still better than masking, Matt coat done. So now it's just the little details, headlamps, wipers , mirrors and the winch cable for crane/boom whatever you want to call it! Then a final bit of weathering and done I think. Was going to do the black camouflage but totally forgot !! Loved building this once I got back on it, think there might be an artillery tractor parked next to it sometime in the future :smiling:

The Leyland Martain was another truck we had in Germany. The Scammel was a beast alright, pull a 434 tracked with out even knowing you were towing it.

John, we had one of these in Germany when I was there. We also had two AEC wreckers.

I do actually have a soft spot for all the Scammel trucks and would love to get hold of the Tank Transporter!

All we need is for a manufacturer to bring out some British Heavy artillery for it to drag around.

Thanks Paul. Took plenty of the gun tractors back to the base units for resale . The recovery part looks just like the Leyland version, thanks for posting

Cheers Mark.
