hammy Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Bet you lot are bored off me and my threads by now but if your not heres a new one. Reading through this section and the road transport section they have given me inseration especially all you god like scratch builders who can turn a piece off plasticard into a tipper wagon so I thought I would give it a go. Now I thought I would start easy with a new Ford Transit To this van I have added a driver and pondered what plain vans have on them. Then I remembered they always seem to have glass racks on them so Ive attempted one of these 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrighty Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Hi, The Royal Mail van is coming along nicely. What livery will you be changing the cab into? I have done something similar, however I used the medium roof Transits and added a blue flatbed in the livery of Balfour Beatty. Looking forward to seeing your progress.

SM42 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Quick question Has the flat bed had the chassis extended or is it an optical illusion? So far all looking pretty good. I especialy like the glass carrier. Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammy Posted November 29, 2013 Author Share Posted November 29, 2013 The chassis has been extended and the rear part jacked up on a little plasticard to give it the right look Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
