Truck Month Anyone?

With the success of Gun Month and Plane Month I now propose Truck Month in order to help clear a backlog of unbuilt vehicles. The most recent being the twin Bedford QL set from Airfix which arrived last week. Al is pretty keen as ever and has dibs on one of these trucks.
Easternfunker who sent me a Roden Opel Blitz this time last year will be a starter as well I am sure. I have been putting this kit off long enough so it will be first on the list.
And lastly the JB Models/Airfix Landrover 1 Tonne Forward Control which is needed for cold war taskings. Anyone else up for a Truck build?

  2. I like the WW2 British trucks. Pity that 1/76 instead of 1/72 scale. I must buy Airfix's Bedford and compare this one with IBG trucks.

    Good luck with painting these!

  3. I'll "ditto" Beccas comments. Got no trucks but good luck. And better trucks than paying $40 for 10 figures and a tank... :D

  6. I have a certain amount of truck building to do. As someone very clever once said - "You can never have too many lorries."
    How much I'll actually get done is another thing - February is looking like a busy month.

  7. Would half-track tractors count as well? I have a Sdkfz.7 almost ready. Otherwise, I'd have to get started on some Pegasus trucks I have languishing in their boxes.

  18. I might have to try get my hands on some of these tomorrow. I'm sure they've turned up in the local by now.

    If not I'll have to try build some of my Leyland Retrievers or something....
