Post war AEC Militant Mk1 artillery tractor

A prominent feature of this cab is the radiator mesh grill, it came out well, messing it up with glue was a major concern but it came out clean.

Sterling work here; a bit of a beast, but then these trucks were big.

This model is just about done, soon ready for some pictures outside in direct sunlight ( the harshest judge of a finished model ) ~

Looks amazing Tim. I have a 1/4 complete Bedford somewhere in the stash. I should see if I can find it and bring it back to the desk.

cheers

The outside shots look real from some angles. Excellent work. I think I’ve ridden in one of these with the TA back in the 70s, they were still using them to tow Bofors guns (upgraded with electric power from a generator and radar). Does that sound possible?

Wow! Outstanding results! I’d swear from those photos that is a real 1:1 truck. That looks like the real deal. Excellent model.

Nice job - thanks for sharing. If the Matador reappears is there one in your future?
