I use super glue Mike with no problems trythe gel type, the big BW models are heavy and i suggest that the axles are strengtened to combat sag i use a length of metal rod and glue it up out of site as much as possible even to the point if fileing some of the axle down for a clean fit keep at it

cheers

I was going to suggest a concrete Jeep certaily looks like one

Well this appeal is certainly moving in the right direction my contribution will be on its way, why do i get this gut feeling that its going to be more than 10 veterans going to Normandy due to our efforts

well done all

Just for fuel tanker interest heres the Autocar with a 2000 gall tank

Nice shots, three new to me here are some White 666

Bit like Clive on this one cant wait to see the end result and Norfolksnot a million miles from me, if you look on the bottom right corner of the photo you will see the contact web site lots of photos on it mostly navy so it takes time to find things meantime another

Nice wartime colour shot

Heres one PW british army

War time Pioneer in one of ite intended roles

Some DAF 2300 trucks two general cargo with crane and the tipper version, something i have noticed on the 6 wheeled cargos is that the Dutch dont seem to use a tilt and canvas on them i have never seen one over there and cant remember a photo of same

four from the M.A.N stable

you are right on that Richard, there seemed to be a lot of cross breeding in the 1970/80 period look at the recovery in the german heavies a Faun but the cab is certainly of MAN design

Hi Laurent

These photos show the KC 30 cwt these were basically the pre war model released on to the civilian market after the war and the army and raf and i believe navy all purchased batches during the late 1940s early 1950s. Most if not all the ML trucks used by the army were requisitioned vehicles but in 1939 they did purchse a small number of fuel tankers as shown here with the canvas tilt over the tank this illustration will give you an idea of the camouflage used at the time , a green disruptive pattern over dark earth or dark khaki

cheers

and a few of the Faun 8x8 BKF 30.40 gl recovery, very similar to the british armies new MAN the Germans have been useing this type of truck for a good few years now

Might just as well go for broke tonight and start the German heavies with the popular Faun tank transporter

the 320-45

Well we seem to have the Dutch heavies moving so time to start another, this time the Italians and Iveco some with the original Fiat name. The first is a model 330-40 ANWTW 6x6 followed by shots of th 320-45 WTM 6x6

OK just to please yer some DAF YBs the first a YB616 has a most unusual crane which looks to be mounted in the centre of the body and has a grab that looks like one of those brick hoists seen on builders merchant trucks, i can only think its used to self load ammo pallets any ideas anyone. The second is the fuel tanker 7000 litres on the SWB chassis followed by the gun tractor and 155mm howitzer and last thethe flexable runway

Usual cock up should be this photo i will put the other one in the Berliet thread when i can find it

Heavy wrecker YB 616

A old photo of the Albion in use as a civvy recovery with Harvey Frost 8 ton crane

Got a couple of pics of the K type somwhere be back as soon as i can find them

Dont hit the brakes run the buggers over
