I finished another very cool truck from the Polish company IBG Models. This time a towing vehicle for the British Bofors anti aircraft gun. I always enjoy building their kits and they do produce a wide variety of different models at very decent value. My only criticism is sometimes the parts have too many connection points and removal and clean up can be annoying. This one was also a bit tricky getting the cab put together as lining everything up is more a trial and error thing rather than having specific guide holes or slots. I added a driver as they do not supply one. You have to have someone in control! I used normal cement glue on the windows and windscreen which was not good enough and my windshield fell in after i had completed the kit. So i suggest using super glue instead…..
I wanted to do the mickey mouse camo scheme which is one of my favourites. I also added two relaxed looking passengers in the back, from AB figures as usual. This was a fun build and an excellent addition to my growing fleet of British vehicles.
Nicely built and painted, Colonel.
Regards, Chris.

That is really nice, Will! 🙂 The camouflage and crewmen in the back look spot on!

Looks great colonel. And clearly the lads took a bit of damage to the windscreen so they had to kick it out so they could see where they were going.
I have never bothered to base my WWII vehicles, but looking at all your kits it makes me think that I should.

Thanks Anthony. Yes i agree with the windscreen – i like the story! I base most of mine especially anything with an axle or delicate bits – just helps prolong life during handling
