Hi George,

Your RAF Fordson would have been the industrial version that did have high gear ratios for road work.

Looking forward to seeing a pic of it.

Default Karrier Bantam photos

Thread slowed down a bit.

I have a friend who recently purchased a 1/76 scale model of what is described as a WWII Karrier Bantam with box body.

I know it existed in MK1 and MK11 versions but have been completely unable to find any photos of same.

Anyone can help maybe??

Thanks

Bill

Default Bantam Karrier

Dear Bill it looked like this - but with a box body rather than flatbed
