Nice addition......also great to see the rear wheels have been fitted correctly, reverse of the fronts......this was a feature on most if not all British 3 tonners. Not sure why, but front and rear track was always different.

George I have heard it was done in case they got stuck and so provided better traction when rocking back and fourth. I cannot say this is 100% true but it sounds like logical thought.

Pity they didn't address the terrible hubs! I did two 3D-printed sets (on Shapeways) for them some time ago, with & without flanges, with the indicator paddle as well. Some day I might finish that build...

The set looks great and will really add some nice details. Too bad there is no gas detection panel or wiper blades included. That would have been a nice inclusion to cover parts left out of the original kits.

George they are likely trying to figure out how much of the original can still be saved from the tin worm.
