Global Scale Modeller

Hi,
For my next model I have decided to do this Bedford recovery truck.


After priming the model it onto the first steps. The chassis and engine are all in gloss black so the first thing I did was build all this up so that it ready to be painted.










Now that’s done I have to leave it all to dry before airbrushing

Thats a cool looking kit. Great job so far.

Thanks

Over the last few days I have been going through the model a bit at a time.
The first thing I did was spray up the parts I made last time and I fitted the exhaust.


Then I made up the wheels and painted them red and fitted them to the chassis.




I then built up the cab ready to be painted cream.


I also built up the interior which is black as well as the front grill




I also painted the toolbox for the rear recovery section


Then I made the recovery boom up. This was a bit of a nightmare as there was quite a lot of pin type parts that had to be pushed trough which unfortunately broke so I had to just bodge it together with glue so it is at a slight slant. I then painted it red.






I then painted the seats tan and fitted them to the interior


Then after spraying the cab and recovery body cream i added the transfers. This was also trouble as the transfer that were included in the kit disintegrated as soon as they hit the water. Luckily i always take scan of the transfer sheet so I had a copy ready to print off.









I then built up the rear recovery body and attached it to the chassis




Then I added the front cab and parts




Here the completed model

Nice one.

Well done. A cool looking truck
