I have the Airfix kit of the Thornycroft Amazon Coles Crane, and am struggling to work out the configuration of the lifting cables. Does anyone have a diagram showing how these were arranged? The kit's instructions give a vague idea, but they don't match what I see in photos of the real vehicle.

Have you seen the following website https://sites.google.com/site/colescranedatabase/home

Paul,

Many thanks. I have checked out the site, and hopefully I will be able to get a better idea now.

Is your name really Paul Bonnett? ... there's a coincidence.

Paul Bennett
