The film shows an AEC Matador with a scraper..
Would this be a working mode or is it just for long distance transport?
And is a scraper available in 1/35?
It would give an interesting model I guess.

Thanks, interesting video!

LZ Models did a scrapper but not sure if this is what you are looking for:

Thanks, Carlos.
I will figure out how to buy the kit.

The movie shows a UK operated scraper.
Most construction equipment seems to be from US supplies, however.
i presume that the paint wouldhave been US OD.
Though at the back of a AEC Matador would give something different in my collection , I would like to get confirmed that ithe truck was only used for road transport.

Remains the question how the AoS looked from UK engineering units.....
Or was the movie showing a RAF Airfield Construction Unit?
