Have you tried www.asam.co.uk?

Thanks you for your input everyone, much appreciated. I think the re-painted sides look much better.

Very nice Joe. The finish is great and the scratch mirrors make a big difference, I'll have to do the same with my fleet of MK's. I noticed that you have made your own number plate (probably because the originals were perished) and that you have painted the front side lights orange as indicators. The front indicators on MK series lorries were mounted on the front wing just in front of the doors. I choose to omit this extra scratch made detail on my MK's.

Thanks Rick. Yes, the number plates perished and I had no other options available at the time, hence the serial is fictitious in every way. The roundel at the rear was added by me too. Thanks for the info about the indicators. I think I will just leave it for now, I'm happy with it the way it is but thank you for the correction.

Looks nice & tidy. Great build. Had a look at the dio with the Harrier. Brilliant!

Thanks, glad you liked it. I quite enjoyed building a vehicle. Have a few trucks and a tank in the stash waiting for their day.

Joe this is excellent, looks a bigger scale than it is.
