I've got the FAT and it looks great, much better then the tamiya offereing from the same age I'd use that for towing the 25 pounder is it the flat bed one you have? fella I knew built the the FAT said it built up well no issues and for its age still holds up well

That Bedford has been around for many years. I believe it started of as a Peerless Max kit, then Airfix, then Revell ( the issue that I have) as a 6pdr gun portee, and now as Italeri without the gun.
It's a good kit with no problems and the detail matches up with more modern kits. There are also complete cabs and body kits available to turn it into a QL trooper or GS truck.

The FAT is a Canadian Military Pattern (CMP) chevrolet gun tractor and not a bedford.

I have the Revell version and have found the fit of the rear deck is hard and also the plastic quite brittle.
