Bedford OSB SWB Recovery Truck by Kevin - FINISHED - Emhar - 1/24 - PLASTIC

[Kevin]

good afternoon everyone

been a pants year, and as a result i pretty well lost my mojo for anything, even contemplated packing up building altogether, 

But I seam to be over that now and to get me in the mood, i was looking for something interesting and a relativity quick build.

Jadlams came to the rescue, by selling all four of the Emhar 1/24 Bedford trucks set with 60% off a week or so back so i purchased them

 

very little flash, minimal detailing, no PE, seams like a basic Trumpeter kit, when you open the box

 

the four kits in the set are two short wheel base and two as long wheel base, and as a result the two versions share a lot of the sprues, like chassis and cabs 

all the simulated wooden panels are discarded for the set, just the Chassis is used

final reveal

Halfords Grey Primer for everywhere

Halfords black stain for chassis

Halfords S9-070 Beige - body work

Halfords British Racing Green - crane, wheels

green stuff World for the Chrome

 

i give the kit 7/10, for quality, very heavy tabs attach parts to sprues

i give 3/10 for my attempt to build it

 

 

pain to get the glass in place on the front of the cab

i never dealt with seam lines properly

to much not allowing primer to dry propely before adding top coat

 

an enjoyable week, with a finished kit

You haven't lost it; it was just hiding out.

 

Are those real rubber tyres? Very cool.
