It's a shame they don't produce in 1/35 scale. Would have liked this kit in that scale.

I wouldn't mind a 1/32 scale version to go with the Spitfire kits in that scale and the Masterbox aircrew set.

Anybody got any pictures or diagrams of the steering for the Albion? the kit seems to be lacking in this area - no trackrod or steering box/draglink included
Thanks

Hi Simon, when doing a bit of research for this review, I didn't come across anything on the web with that amount of detail. The resource I would suggest approaching is Albion Trust who are in fact credited on the Airfix instructions. They apparently hold all of the archive material from Albion when they closed down.
There is also someone who runs a truck like this and it even has their location and phone number on the side...
