Hi all,
Here is the LRDG Chevrolet 30cwt Truck from TAMIYA, such an old kit but still a nice one.

Dont know why no one has commented on this,i think it looks neat.
The black background realy shows off the model.

Regards

Karl

It's very nice , good work! May I ask that have you bought the kit nowadays and if yes where? I'm looking for one, but found only on e-bay, for horrible prices.

Very nice,

I like the weathering and chipping.

If only Tamiya would re release this kit...

Yes it's ironic, so many comments/compliants about Tamiya just bringing out the same old kits with new boxes etc. and here is one I know I'd love to see them re issue again. I wouldn't even care if it came in the old box !! As we can see by ebay there is a good demand for this particular kit.

You've done a nice job on it Zane by the way. Any plans to make a suitable desert base diorama to place it on ?

I have built this kit and it is classic Tamiya, ease of construction and looks the part however I am not qualified to comment on accuracy. Nice build you have here, is this the finished article or do you intend to add stores?

I bought it from a friend here in GUANGZHOU, who was selling his old collection at that time.
I would like to put more stores on it, and make a base, just if possible.

Really nice build and weathering!

Quick question though -- where did you get the P. S. P. plating from?

Cheers,
Ian

good job!

i already saw some of this models with the tyres broken off due to problems with the mixture of the plastic-material ...

Nice work with this kit,it is one i would like to see back on the shelves.

Very nicely weathered! The only thing that detracts from it is the horrible old Tamiya figure.(not your fault of course)
One minor painting tip-the ends of those sand blankets are red and white, as they doubled as recognition signals.
Great job otherewise.

Zane,

Thats a nice build .

The psp plating also comes in the eduard etch for this vehicle .

I scratchbuilt my sand channels.Timber in sewn fabric.
I used balsa in a fine fabic .

For a 70's something kit The only real attention needed for this model is for the tyres.
They crack after a period of time.
The hotter the temperature the more likely to split
Change them to tank workshop or resin alternative

The cargo/fighting bay needs to be filled up as full as a boot.

Nice paintjob .
Good effort
