Looking for detail information for FORD F30 LRDG Patrol truck
A model company is producing a LRDG Ford F30 model in 1/35th scale and is looking for feedback on initial CAD drawings.
This version mounts a 37mm Bofors anti Tank gun and has a raised mount for it. We know it needs the rear body front, sides and rear reduced in height by 6"/150mm. Also the axles need to be changed to Chevrolet 'Banjo' axles. We have details of the different tread plate patterns in the rear, cab and side steps. Also missing rifle clips and butt sockets on passenger side (I have details and drawings). One of the details needed are the 2 front vents, what they look like and where they attach. I don't know if the trucks used a heavy duty radiator (this CAD radiator looks a bit skinny) and fan shroud, or what that would look like (I'm more a Chevrolet 1533X2 guy!), and what type of instrument gauges/arrangement were used on this version. I presume they had a PTO air compressor fitted (the LRDG Chevrolet WA's and 1533X2's had them), and we know what the compressor looks like and where it was fitted on the LHS of the gearbox, but not sure about the pipework, or schraeder valve location or hole for the screw driver to turn it on. The company knows there are omissions and incorrect details and has sensibly asked for assistance in getting it right before starting production. Any comment, drawing, photos, information gratefully received. Thanks. |
