Si B’s 1/35 Airfix British Army 30-cwt 4x2 G.S truck
Good to say that Ive finally finished:smiling4: Took a while to get the junk in the trunk looking reasonable but I’m happy with it. Added a few extras like the rope with hook on the front and the chains next to the spare wheel.- Si Benson

Si B’s 1/35 Airfix British Army 30-cwt 4x2 G.S truck
Yes it’s been a while but i am getting some bits done here and there. Been beavering away with some restrained weathering…..and still finding bits to chuck on and in the back of the truck. Fixed the glazing in on the doors (which I’d completely forgotten to weather when I did the bodywork...- Si Benson

Latest Acquisitions (2024)
Some recent purchases. The floater was due to an impulsive moment at the LHS, found the deck upgrade on eBay. Next up….I Had this preordered from China and wasn’t expecting it for a while. Hopefully it will be as good as the other Vespid kits I’ve built. And a magazine for some... -
Si B’s 1/35 Airfix British Army 30-cwt 4x2 G.S truck
I haven’t been sat on my hands and was waiting for a new pot of silicone to turn up so I could mould a couple of spare wheels and a few other bits to chuck in the back.- Si Benson

Si B’s 1/35 Airfix British Army 30-cwt 4x2 G.S truck
Stickers are on. I stupidly changed how I wet my decals and paid the price as they fought me all the way. Numbers on the hood broke apart folded over, crinkled etc etc. Normally I place them on a small sheet of acrylic, drop of clean cold water on top and away you go. But I noticed on the...- Si Benson

Si B’s 1/35 Airfix British Army 30-cwt 4x2 G.S truck
Scheme now added. I followed the design given by Airfix but didn’t have any of the humbrol colours suggested in the instructions so matched with tamiya alternatives or mixes. Plenty of careful masking but wasn’t so bad as only really on the cab and not much else. I forgot to take a picture...- Si Benson

Si B’s 1/35 Airfix British Army 30-cwt 4x2 G.S truck
You forgot the first stages that include, work my arse off to make some faceless director even richer, rub head and swear from having my wages messed up for the umpteenth time, tell the wages woman to pop it where the sun don’t shine. Agree to work extra hours, only to find out the manager has...- Si Benson

Si B’s 1/35 Airfix British Army 30-cwt 4x2 G.S truck
Gave the interior some paint and finished adding the last few bits and bobs this morning. Then gave the whole thing a blast of Mr Wotsitsname black primer. I’ll let that dry then it’ll get its base coat and paint scheme.- Si Benson

Si B’s 1/35 Airfix British Army 30-cwt 4x2 G.S truck
Carried on this morning and added the details to the cargo bed. Frames for the canvas tilt and a frame to store the spare tyre. Next up is the cab. All pretty straightforward stuff really but a boo boo in the instructions have you looking for the base of the cab as part C13….. Part C13...- Si Benson

Si B’s 1/35 Airfix British Army 30-cwt 4x2 G.S truck
Work began with chassis assembly. A nice big A4 destruction manual, very easy to follow. Quite a few parts here but all necessary and a reasonable level of detail for the unseen bits. No problems with fit and very little flash.….. Wheels next and again pleased to say they went to together...- Si Benson

Si B’s 1/35 Airfix British Army 30-cwt 4x2 G.S truck
A Christmas present that jumped the queue and has made its way onto the bench. Not built any 1 35 Airfix models before so was keen to see how it went together and I’m pleased to say I’ve not hit any negatives so far. Here’s what you get in the box….- Si Benson

With Christmas out the way and all the decorations packed up and back in the attic I can finally get back to the where I left of with this beast. Finished weathering the wheels and have now fitted the tracks permanently. They where painted up previously so now just need weathering.…- Si Benson

As the Christmas chaos subsides back into some sort of normality….Or whatever it is, I finally take stock of my Xmas bounty. The Mrs has a good memory for things I point at when we’re out shopping :smiling4: -
