Hi guys

Does anyone know of a company that makes a 35th scale kit of the Austin K-5 4x4 truck? I need at least two for an RMG Dio.

Thanks
HarryD

Sovereign 2000 make an Austin K5 in resin and whitemetal

try this link http://freespace.virgin.net/john.burrows3/index1.htm

click on vehicles then Sovereign

soverign 2000 make some great kits,
but their K5's are £50 each ($80-90?)
a dio with two might get a little expensve!

cheers

Thanks guys. Joe you are right at $80 a truck this could get expensive. I'm going back to the books to see if a different vehicle might work.

Thanks again guys
HarryD

what sort of scene do you have in mind,
there may be other kits you could use, rather than expensive resin ones.
thats the main problem with building british armour, softskins etc,
they are so expensive. for example the last two kits i bought,

Acurrate Armour Staghound mk1 armoured car-£59.99
Resicast bedford QLT truck-£62 of eBay

most british vehicles are only available in resin, but there are some good plastic ones.

cheers

The basic idea is to show a recon / lead element of 30 corp entering one of the cities or villages I have a scout car on point, and one of ref picas I'm using shows two K5s behind it.

HarryD

sounds like its gonna turn into a nice diorama!

what kind of scout car are you gonna use?

one idea about the trucks, revell do a bedford QL portee.
basically a normal QL truck with a slightly modified rear deck, with a six pounder AT gun on it. it would be pretty easy to scratch a few parts to moake the deck suitable for a standard lorry.
