  1. Now heres something you dont see everyday, the Ford model T with the hucks starter is quite a well known vehicle but not so this Morris Cowley with the Hucks aircraft starter. This photo shows one as a prototype i wonder did any make it into production
  2. Heres one i made earlier, well 20 years ago well before the advent of all the resin kits that now abound. Its 1/35 scale and mainly scratch built with some vac formed componants from a German firm and wheels and axles etc from a old 1/24 renwall duece and a half
