FORD-Question...

Hi all

I would like to built the FORD as seen on the BW-Picture.

Therefore I bought from AIRFIX the CHEVROLET 15cwt and from TAMIYA the Quad Gun Tractor for the front of the "new" truck.

The only thing I would have to adjust now is the cabin since the FORD had the windows "backward"....

Is my assmption correct so far?

...and it would be a real big help for me, if somebody could post some clear pictures of the FORD here!

Kuno,

I hate to disappoint you, but I am quite sure that the Ford in the picture is a 8cwt truck.
Building this truck in 1/35, you will have to scratchbuild a chassis, rear body and you might even want to consider scratchbuilding a cab because the Tamiya Cab 12 isn't quite accurate....

Dirk Leegwater has 3 8cwt Fords for sale (1:1) (www.lwdparts.com)
Mike Kelly also owns one......

Hey Kuno, did you forget the thread "Looking for a FORD..."

....it is an F8. Sure.

Is there any good reference material, which allows me to make the conversion from the 15cwt?

Hanno, the link you gave me did not work...
