1/43 Scale Military Vehicles

Currently in the Radley Models development pipeline are two 7mm scale 1953-1980 military vehicles. The first is a Bedford RL double dropside 4x4 lorry. This still requires some work doing on chassis detail such as differentials, leaf springs and gearbox bits but should be ready to go to the resin casters in a month or so. The second is a Mk5 Northern Ireland 'uparmoured' 6x6 Saracen Ambulance. This latter still has much work to be done and wont  be ready this year.

The Bedford RL was commissioned for use as a Warwell load on Chris Klein's 'Tonfanau camp' layout but will now take its place in the general Radley Models listing.

A view of the RL CAD drawing is attached.

The 7mm Bedford RL should be available from Radley Models sometime in the next 7-10 days. A couple of photos of the completed kit are attached. This is a largely resin bodied kit with white metal wheels and lost wax brass castings for small delicate pieces. However, it also contains some etched parts - such as for the jerrican cages and the rear mudguards so a knowledge of folding and soldering thin etches would be useful. Thus I'd say, it's slightly more difficult than the average kit that I've designed. But it does make a nice model when finished!
