How's about this for a bargin i spied it in the office of my local model shop i mentioned that i hadn't seen i for years, i asked if he wanted to sell it we both had a check of the content's and i said what's your price he put it in a bag and said he would have never made it, and the price he just gave it to me i walked away a bit shocked.not every day you get a kit for free.its got no glazing in it but would any one know if it did.

Good score Peter. A picture of a Mobil version shows no glazing in sight:

wait till I come back from SMW....

 

[Guest]

Thanks guys, I've been after the Bedford truck for ages, and the wifey went out and got me one....it's nice to know I'm not the only one who gets kits bought for you by the Mrs.

It just goes to prove, that they do sometimes listen...lol.

 

[Guest]

I did a quick head-count when checking the parts and it seems Tamiya made a mistake. The box says "contains parts for three figures" , when in fact there are 4! Wooooo!!!! Lucky me!

Odd really because Tamiya usually has it together and doesn't mess up like that, but either way it works out in the end.

The Bedford is a good kit. Builds well and looks great despite its age...I am converting one as I write this in fact.

Not much you can with the open cab, but pop a closed cab on it and you can build literally dozens of different Bedfords.

I'm after the "new" kit of the Bedford GL as that comes with the closed in cab....

That Fulcrum looks rather nice..

my haul from the Southwell show......spent far too much

there was a guy selling Black Dog and Value Gear stuff which i was tempted with but then found a guy had been doing some casting of his own.......got to be worth a punt at £2.50, innit?
