Emhar Bedford OSBT.

At 1/2 price on ebay UK: Having built one with timber decal sides etc. I shall do this as a poor renovate with runny gloss grey brush paint!

This is my first attempt using two alloy tubes to get moving slide up and down tipper action instead of the kit, fixed either up or down!

 

[PatW]

Starting today, who knows what colours I may choose! My first one was featured in Model Truck World Magazine!

 

[PatW]

The chassis so far, still thinking on colours for body & cab!

Ah, trusty Bedford.
I didn't think we ever saw them over here, but a quick response from Mr Googly says there were a limited number between 1957 and '63! No wonder I didn't recall, being born in '58!

I've a WW2 OYD and an MWD in the stash.

OK BarleyBop, are those you quoted Bedford trucks?
OK I've just looked!

Yup! And I forgot a third one, that I built years ago, a QL portee with 6 pounder gun.

 

[PatW]

So far!

 

[PatW]

OK to fit rear unit but now trying to fit the cab unit and tilt right up tight to cab and 'jammed' together! taking rear unit off and starting again!

 

[PatW]

Just a few more bits and decals! Replaced the hinge mounting for the tipper box!

 

[PatW]

The end!

 

[Ron2]

Cool build, love the paint job on the cab! Did the headlight glass come with the pattern?

 

[BarleyBop]

Really like this one! Hydraulics worked out well!

 

[Tommergun]

Well done, and very cool subject!

 

[PatW]

Yes Ron2 the lights all came with clear lenses.
OK thanks guys, other than having to re-site the tipper hinges!
