I think you are right Miloslav,
The Diamond T (969) and the Ward La France look alike very much though, but there are some obvious differences indeed (front, hood, bumper, sparewheels etc.)
Diamond T
Ward La France
Nevertheless, the model is beuatifull!!!!

Great Work Malcom!
Is this a Real Model kit? Either way, how are the assembly directions. I love the subjects that resin model companies are producing, however I also find their assembly directions a bit "Challenging".
Happy New Year!

It looks like the Accurate Armour one to me. I've built this monster truck as well, it goes together pretty well. the instructions are clear but you do have to study them well and take your time its not an overnight build

Hi Mark L,
the plans are the new type, very good and easy to read,its not an easy kit to make, but it is very good when finished, not recommended for the light hearted
cheers,
malc.
