Dear friends !

My name is Ed and I am 39. I work as electric engineer.
I have a big interest about WW2 military vehicles, and one of interesting subjects for me are WW2 British trucks & lorries.

I have some bold thoughts about a scratch build of scale model (or models) of some of typical British vehicles - 6x4 forward control lorries (most part of them had open cabs), and I try to collect any materials on this subject. That is why I shall pleased to get any help with the any scale plans of those lorries, photos, detailing drawings of cab interiors, chassis, axles, body interiors, drawings from technical manuals, etc (like those, that were posted by JAN Mostek - see posts #28, 29,30 in this thread).

The list of those vehicles (about which is anything known) is below:
- AEC 644 Marshal
- Albion BY1, BY3, BY5
- Guy FBAX
- Karrier CK6
- Crossley IGL3, IGL7, IGL8
- Leyland Retriever, Terrier, Bull Terrier
- Morris D, CD, CDF, CDFW
- Thornycroft Tartar.

Today I have only Guy FBAX GS lorry plan from "British military transport" book (by Almark Publications).

I think, some vehicles from this list J. B. Church most certainly could draw - and I shall pleased to see those plans.
But those plans were drawn in the Sixties - the Seventies, and, maybe, some more modern plans are existed now - and I pleased to see these modern plans too.

Thank You in advance.

Best regards,
Ed.

Dear sir Les Freathy !

I think about model (models) in 1/72 scale.
As for scale plans/drawings - they can be in any scale; they can be made in the necessary scale with copier device, that have scaling function.

Regards,
Ed.

OK, dear Les !

Thank You very much. Those are nice Retriever's views !

The body of Retriever on 4th image - for what purposes it was used ?
Radio van or workshop ? Or another use ?

Best regards,
Ed.
