I've done the location for the Phillips radio. I didn't open the door, just detailed the outside and modified the radio box. E-mail me for photos [email protected]

I don't know how I missed this build! Absolutely outstanding work as ever Al. It's inspired me to do a similar thing!

Nice job...nice dusting overall. I like the detail with the wheel on the side...of the car.

And a nice home made stowage on the second one.

Keep up!

Hi Nico,

Many thanks for the comments. Both were very enjoyable builds. I spent 3/4 years collecting up the bits which you can now get in one set with the Resicast options .

I need to make a base for them at some point and probably add a little more wear and tear to the body work. As the old Tamiya kit is now available again I'll probably do a couple of early armed versions using the Resicast sets at some point.

With space always at a premium I had thought about using the Great North Road base which kinda stacks them but wasn't sure how that might look with 2 stationary vehicles.



Enjoyed your build, cool work.

Cheers

Al

Due to all the rain over Christmas I have been assembling a few of the Tamiya LRDG trucks. Starting with the radio truck I have been trying to sort out the actual radio fit and found these pictures in 'The Kiwi Scorpions' by Brendan O'Carroll which I did not find on the thread so post as they may assist in answering a few of the questions on this subject that have been posted before.

The first, while fitted to a Ford F30 shows both radios.


The next two show the side mounting location for both radios on Chevs.





So far I've made progress on a radio truck, Brenda truck and body of what will become a fitters truck.
