This was another great little truck kit that was included in the Airfix Diorama RAF Refuelling Set. I really only bought the whole set so I could get this truck and the smaller Tilly vehicle I made a while ago. You do get a British aircraft too, but also some very poor figures and a plastic base that will not amount to much. But whatever, I like trucks and wanted to build one of these. Nice grey plastic and it built very easily. You get the option to build as a covered truck or as a fuel truck. You choose. Nice. Not much else to say today, I added my own driver from AB figures. The windshield and side windows are part of the doors and windshield frame which does make painting tricky, as you must avoid getting paint on the window bits. I added dust and powder on top which does tend to hide any errors. Lots of nice decals provided and you end up with a very useful vehicle for a small squad or some command section.
I based him on MDF with sand and tufty bits. I also have a set of AB figures soldiers loading wooden boxes which may be a good accompaniment, we could use them to represent a resupply action of some sort.

Wow mate it turned out really well there is certainly something to say about the old Airfix! Oh and all for hiding errors!!! I’m glad you told me about the dust trick! Cheers Will well done.

thanks Pat, yeah a nice bit of dust helps a lot. its handy that you can remove it easily if you go too far. So easier to deal with than too much paint. Yeah i love old Airfix kits even the really crappy ones. Just fun to build. I think this truck looks like a new mould.

Nicely done, Will! 🙂 Has quite a bit of character! I can remember building the Airfix airfield emergency vehicles (ambulance and fire engine) as a kid, so your pictures take me back!

Well that came out a treat – useful little truck I would imagine – can have it bumbling along virtually anywhere.
