Bomb trolleys undercoated.
They lack real accuracy but will just about pass muster.

I bet Mr. Robinson will be doing jigs and cartwheels when he sees them.
They look excellent and with the accompanying Tractor will make a great addition to his planned diorama/setting.
Super stuff.

I hope my next is always better

My Accurate Armour tractor arrived on Thursday.
Quite a simple build.
A resin kit.
Basic paintwork applied.

A comparison of the two.

Both look excellent. You're the tractor man.

Now to attempt a Bedford refueler! (Is it one L or two, the spill chucker suggests two, but is this an Americanism?

The RAF refueller is causing me problems, I really don't like the suggested colour scheme for 1942/3 and may opt for an earlier one. It may be my eyes but the two browns do not look right.
Brush painted just to try, i think it will be quickly removed.

Scratch built rear body on a commercial chassis.
It is not quite 1:48 scale, will Mr. Robinson notice?
Balsa former wrapped with plastic card.
Excuse the rough paint job, it is the first coat after a lot of problems. some judicious rubbing down after the paint has cured.
