Airfix Bedford Truck

Post by krieglok » Sat Dec 02, 2006 1:17 pm

I picked up an 1:32 Airfix British Bedford transport truck. I thew a coat of OD paint on to it, but I need to do some markings. Anyone know where I can find images of Brit trucks from WW2? I cant seem to find the right ones on the web. Thanks.

I have one too. .... This is a post WWII modern vehicle used by the British military in the 50's. ... I thought about using it with my WWII stuff but it's not politically correct compared to the original one used in North Africa. ... There are some cosmetic differences on the basic chassis. :wink: = 8)

I seem to recall them in the movie "A Bridge Too Far". I would have to look again. Of course they used Leopard tanks in the movie too. The truck is a neat piece. It reminds me of the old Gay Toys/Timmee Toys Duece and a halfs that once were common in soft plastic. I must have had ten of them when I was a kid. Too bad the Airfix trucks go for $20 from the dealers...
