IBG Models Bedford Truck in 1/72 Scale

Another great little kit from IBG. I finished the QLT which took me ages with all the occupants and extra tweaking I did. This is the QLD so a shorter wheelbase and I guess more for carrying things than people. I always enjoy making these IBG kits. Everything fits, the plastic is easy to work with, lots of detail but not too fiddly. I can go on and on. This guy I added some really cool, but teeny tiny, windscreen wipers (photo etch from Hauler) which I think finish it off nicely. My blog buddy Pete suggested a great transparent super glue which worked a treat so I did not get glue all over my windscreen and ruin everything. I also add the tissue paper tarpaulin which looks way better than the flat plastic supplied. At the bottom of the tarp I made an attempt to recreate the straps holding it on using the same plastic bristles I use for aerials. I think that was all the modifications I made. It’s a super little truck and goes well the other Airfix Bedfords I have in the collection. Recently I bought two new kits from IBG Models – their Daimler Armoured Car and a sawn off Daimler too, which I am very excited to build.
