Nice detail PE work Tony. Those loops must've taken a lot of patience.

Thanks for the comments guys!
Dicky - Empty but with the centre troop seating and if I can get it right a full tilt (open at the back).
Cheers
Tony

Great job. Brings back memories of driving them on exercise in West Germany, in the early 80's. |

All strip, rod etc comes with the kit! (and there is a lot!).
Only thing I have had to supply is wire for engine detailing/cabling etc
Next up is the collapsable troop seating which is scratch built but all materials and instructions are included.

Hi Tony Great work mate. The KFS kits are really well researched and produced bits of kit. You're making it look very easy though. Shame it doesn't come with tilt cover. I never saw many without one. My local TA infantry unit did have these until last summer now they've been issued with MAN's so I doubt we'll see many of these in service now...maybe the more specialised versions. Great wagons though. We definately got our moneys worth from the MK. Smudge PS. My missus learned to drive wagons in a MK. She's scary enough in a car imagine the terror going on in the back with her driving a 4 tonner  |

Thanks for the kind comments guys.
Smudge you are right about the tilt and thats the reason I'm going to have a go at making one!

This is really a fun build. I love the work you do, so clean and exact.
Nice save with the roof hatch. That's the story of my life, cut it off twice and it's still too short.

Its been a while since my last update but I some work has been done. I finished the chassis with fuel, brake, airlines etc have now been added and along with the cab have been built as much as they can be prior to paint. I still have some work to do to the cargo area but that will be in my next post. So to the pics! (I forgot to take a pic of the chassis prior to primer). Drivers side  DSC_2450 by TonyThunder, on Flickr Near side  DSC_2449 by TonyThunder, on Flickr Engine/motor! most of this will be covered by the cab so I won't plumb the engine this time because it will never be seen.  DSC_2451 by TonyThunder, on Flickr Interior of cab  DSC_2452 by TonyThunder, on Flickr Cab complete so far  DSC_2439 by TonyThunder, on Flickr  DSC_2438 by TonyThunder, on Flickr  DSC_2459 by TonyThunder, on Flickr I couldn't resist putting the back on, still some work to do before I can prime.  DSC_2461 by TonyThunder, on Flickr As ever ACW Tony |

Dicky - Good question!
I actually primed with Halfords Plastic Primer.
Over the last year or so I have got into using the airbrush and Vallejo primers but this thing is so big I went the rattle can route.
Its turned out well so far.

What a fantastic show here! I knew that KFS kits exist but never ever have seen one build. Looking at the resin parts and the amazing detail first remembered me at my MiniMan Factory KRaZ (shelf of shame...), those details and your gorgeous skills do this wonderful kit justice.
Under the primer coat the details pop out even more. Beautiful!

Some great work going into this great old work horse,Tony....One of the later versions,with the Turbo,I assume? The MK's in service when I was in,hardly any had the tread plate on the cab.Looking forward to see how you tackle the tilt.... Jeez....when I was in,we still had RL's   |

Looks great Tony....bring on that smelly Paint!
