Airfix 1/76 AEC Matador RAF fuel tanker

Post by Thumboy »

Here are the final reveal photos of my entry into the 6 Military wheels or more SIG. The AEC Matador 6x6. for all the info, history and my journey through this build please check out my build thread. I have thoroughly enjoyed building this little kit form airfix there are no major problems maybe just lacking in some of the finer detail. it would make a great addition to a diorama such as a Lancaster or other large bomber as the kit comes with some men in various refuelling poses and the smaller Bedford refuelling truck. thanks guys, see you in the 2015 GB's and SIG's, planning to take part in all of them. hope you enjoy the photos of the Matador :cheers2:

Lovely work there. I built Airfix's 1/76 Bedford refueller a while back and actually really enjoyed it. This looks like a neat little kit which you have done a really good job on.
