Gday Modellers

Further to my search for the Diamond T crane truck { many thanks to the members who replied} my search for an additional truck continues.

I am looking for a 1/35 AEC Matador Medium artillery truck used in the 1950s in Cyprus by the Royal Artillery. It towed a Bofors aa gun.

I have seen the one on the ASAM website but it is a little expensive for me and slightly inaccurate. Could anyone tell me if it is available by any other producer

I would appreciate assistance once again.

Thanks Stuart.

Both Accurate Armour & Cromwell released 1/35 scale Matadors, I know the AccA version is still available. I've built it and it's a good kit.

The only matador kit I know of is the Accurate Armor resin kit. They have both the early and late versions of it.

Many thanks Dave and Cliff

I will order from AA as it is a perfect match. I must search harder in future.

Thanks again

Stuart
