Fat Controller Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Very nice; tales me back to the early 1960s, when I saw an RAF 'Queen Mary', carrying most of a Hawker Hunter, passing through Morriston (Swansea). Somewhere, also, there is a photo of me saluting a passing convoy of Bedford RLs, full of squaddies; I should add I was about six at the time. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

graeme02041645 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Really good models. Frank Waller did something similar with the airfix trailer but that was one that didn't come to us with the business as Diane (Frank's daughter) has it in a cabinet at home. An update on the RTI website - I'm pleased to say it is not dead but just sleeping! We have made all the changes that we can and I am just trying to get some time with the web man to change a few others before we can go live. It is frustrating but we will get there hopefully soon. Graeme. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelldoc Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) That sounds good, nothing get lost, so the Airfix Bedford becomes an Bedford OWST: For the next Queen Mary trailer I must order a Bedford M.

Marly51 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 These are lovely looking kits! I have a few dioramas in mind where at least three of these RTI models would be ideal! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelldoc Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) Time for a new entry. There was a cab from the first post, but now I had a solution: The Bedford QL in postwar breakdown service. Using the RTI chassis and the bodywork with the transfers and the Airfix cab. modelldoc Edited October 21, 2022 by modelldoc restore the thread 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Bird Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 That QL breakdown lorry looks very good. The QL was a very robust and durable vehicle. There are still some around being used in the felling and haulage of trees. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelldoc Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) Sorry for delay, here is a new entry. I'm not sure about the original, but I had a 8 whell tank from RTI and for that I used the old Keilkraft (now Knightwing) Foden Haulmaster RG. modelldoc Edited October 21, 2022 by modelldoc restore the thread 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fodenway Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Just to point out, the red, blue and white Regent colour scheme had changed to all-over bright red a few years before the Foden Haulmaster was introduced. Regent filling stations gradually became Texaco in the United Kingdom, and the Regent brand was phased out 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelldoc Posted November 4, 2020 Author Share Posted November 4, 2020 Thanks fodenway. This was always my intention, but... So it is a vintage car (lorry), BTW, next model will be correct. modelldoc 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelldoc Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 The Airfix Austin K6 fire tender is a well know model kit, but Airfix present us a very unusual version. Only a few were used after the war on civil airfields in the greater London area. So, RTI must help us for a better version. It's the Fordson WOT 1 fire tender now: modelldoc 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
