I will post the sprue shots later I still need to get the Bedford.

Haha!!! I cannot imagine the combination of those kits Ian

You really nailed the general idea my friend

 

[Guest]

I'm struggling to see how they'll be combined! Are we looking at a James Bond style vehicle/aircraft hybrid?

 

[Gwyn]

I look forward to further clues to your idea?

Made a tentative start to this one. There's not much detail in the cockpit at all so I think I'll need to scratch some.

But the Bedford is looking a better kit.

Looking strangely good there Ian
I don't know what it's going to be but I'm intrigued to see the end result
I'll be watching

Watching with intrigue...

 

[papa 695]

I've been slowly working on the cockpit for this one. Like I said in the last post, there's not much detail so I made this up.

Looks like how I imagine the cockpit of a power boat racer to be

 

[Guest]

Haha!! That's a really cool cabin Ian

Oh come on Joe! Ian's already hinted he's gonna put this thing onto a truck chassis. Please don't give him the idea of fitting it with a hull as well! He'll never get it finished and I'm dying to see what he's going to end up with!

 

[papa 695]

Got the cockpit/cabin painted up and decaled just needs some weathering, then I can seal it up.

I love it Ian

Gotta be semi-automatic whatever it is! Only two pedals.

The two pedals are the clutch and accelerator, the brake is the leaver on the left hand side of the seat Dave.
