Hello Gents,

I'm currently building a 1/76 scale model of the FWD SU-COE and noted with interest the Overloon photos. It shows the frame mounted winch protruding up into the front area of the crew compartment of the Matador body.
If any of you have seen this particular example, can you tell me if there were the customary two bench seats (one behind the other) set a little further back than the Matador, or only one. The view showing the winch shows no hint of a bench but it is a dead-on photo through the open crew door.
I would appreciate any info anyone has on this particular example.

Cheers,

Neil

Neil, I wouldn't be surprised if the Overloon, or more precise the Marshall museum, example is also an ex-Danish truck with a retrofitted rear body.

Hello Alex,

Thanks for the information. I did contact Arjan (Austin Tilly) as he had seen the Overloon vehicle but unfortunately he can't remember the seating configuration. I will probably just add the customary two benches as in the Matador but a little further back.

Cheers,

Neil
