canuckboy Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Hello, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Joel Aunger, from London Ontario, Canada (across the pond so to speak). I have a interest in military vehicles, so therefor I would like to build 1/35th scale models. The Scammel Pioneer recovery vehicle has caught my interest. I would like to scratchbuild one for my collection. I was wondering if there are any one who could share engineering drawings, tech manuals or what ever is available on the Pioneer. I would be very much grateful to receive any information on the Scammel Pioneer, so that I could build a model of it. Best Regards, Joel Aunger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards. Alan. hello Alan, A very imppresive rebuild that you did on "Sparky" You did a very nice job on that Scammel. Thanks for the pics, they are very helpful. One question what is the diameter of the rim? I'm asking that so that I can use that measurement to help me make sure that my conversions for my model plans are correct.
