She's big enough in 1:32. Made the Revell 'Smithsonian' P-40 in 1988 for a shop.

Trumpeter made a P-40B with engine??? The P-40E is their current product, no engine.

Revell's was a P-40E, with engine (80's quality). Cowls were a poor fit IIRC.

The beginnings in 1/72 of Gerhard Mix recovered Bf109 from the desert. I'll have to scratch build the trailer.
From the pictures can anyone provide details of the truck, or trailer? Very poor kit BTW.

That's what I have found, the Short trailer. One model I have found looks, meh, to scale but at 1/35th.
So I am trying my darndest to get it sorta right. I cannot find any kind of table to give proper lengths.
The Queen Mary of trailers was built like a bridge, RANZAF is restoring one. The photo you show and
one other are the clearest for structure. If I knew the height of the rear trailer wheel I could crack on.
The rope at the rear of "5" was wrapped around the white fuselage stripe. The nose cone was close
to the front edge of the trailer. Looks like the trailer was about 25 feet long.
Thanks Wojtek!

That would be Rim Bead size I think. ?
Not sure. Just it was stated " Tyres: 10.50 - 16 ". A couple of Polish sites for the Bedford lorry state the same saying that's the tyre size. Also i found this data spec for the tractor and the Tasker trailers that seem to have the wheels of the same diameter but slightly "thicker". IMHO the diameter of the trailer wheel was about 1,25m.

Do you have the Bedford Bill? I've got a side view of your trailer in 1:76 too. Drop us your address in a PM.

No, but the above photo shows the Bedford and the Short trailer. Wheel base of the Bedford is in the list and That gives me scale for the lot! Will take it into my graphic program an see what I can come up with.
Beauty I hope!

Just edited Bill... can send you an Airfix Bedford OX with the plans.

The tyre size equates to a 16 inch rim, with the tyre wall being 10.5 inches, so total diameter of wheel and tyre = 37 inches.
