Well I have made a bit more progress on this at long last. This is the Red Cross Cub Mobile Conversion for the Tamiya GMC kit made by Masters Productions in France.

I have finished it to this stage as someone wants to display it in a shop front for a fortnight.

Still to do are the decals and a lot more detail painting and weathering. Tyres also are yet to be done.

All comments Welcomed









sorry about the poor pic quality

Very good, very detailed. I hope you have access to the inside (removable top). Painting will be a chore other wise.

MrRoo,
I think I have actually seen one of those before, but can't remember where. I think that we used to call it a "gut wagon," because it was a mobile chow truck. Great job, by the way, and I bet it is really going to look great when you finish painting/weathering. Bravo!!
Ciao for now
Rob

I keep looking at pictures of these trucks and thinking that they'd be good in a dio, now I know where to get one (don't fancy scratching that body!).
Nice build Cliff

That's one really unique vehicle. Even without the weathering and touch-ups I swear I could almost smell the cooking. Just looking at your work makes me hungry already.
