A very enjoyable build of a subject I didn't know anything about until I started researching it. Lots of scratch building on the kits which were painted with Humbrol enamels and weathered with pastels. I can recommend this kit!

Beauty !
The Scammel tractor unit is a big beast - there's one parked outside a house about a mile from where I live. It dominates the road !

Many thanks Snautzer, that comment made me smile!!!Very kind, thank you rochie!!
Thanks very much Vic, much appreciated!! The kit is from Thundermodel and is the 1/35 Scammell TRMU the kit is promoted as a 'late Gooseneck' trailer which is inaccurate it should be an early version of the trailer! I don't have the kit number I'm afraid. The Crusader tank is from Italeri and again, I don't have the kit number. Both kits were painted with Humbrol enamels and mixed accordingly to give the various shades. I knew very little about these vehicles and I got a tremendous amount of assistance from the Scammell in Scale facebook group which I can highly recommend visiting if you're considering doing this kit. I hope this helps?Marvelous build with great detail. Any info on kit, model etc.

Thanks very much Airframes, much appreciated!! Good grief, parked on the road I'll bet it takes up most of the roadway
Good work!

Yep, it's on a late 1950's/early 1960's housing estate, on the relatively narrow road of the period - too big to fit on the short, single car width driveway of the house - which makes that section of the road singe lane !!
