RecyMech Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Evening all, As stated recently in Sharkys RL thread (Hello again Iain:D)....we have an RL kit coming out in the next few months. I'm in the process of finalising the details right now & am looking for some insight on a few details if anyone could kindly help out. (Will also have Saxon ready v-soon but thats another story) 1) Would anyone have a photo of a fully rigged body headboard with pioneer tool fitted or at least a picture of all the brackets in place please? I can see where the shovel fits, & I can see what looks like pick head clamp fittings....but I have no idea about where the helve is carried.:blush: 2) Next is any info, pictures etc of the infantry seats please?....I remember in my head what they look like & how they fold etc, but its the detail like how many wooden slats in the seat & back rest & how many 'over body' hooks etc. 3) Does anyone know, did the RL tailboard have a spring assisted reaction bracket fitted, (like on the MK) as standard or fitted in later service? Or was it all gravity & muscles? Any decent pics of the canopy bars, canopy, tailboard, side boards would be most excellent also, just to cross reference the photos I already have. You blokes have always been brilliant with info, so a big thanks in advance :thanx: Best regs.......Howard @ KFS http://www.kitformservices.com kfs1@btinternet.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean N Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Howard, 1 - I can get a photo of brackets and probably pioneer tools fitted if you give me a few days (but don't let that stop you other chaps posting any) 2 - sorry, mine hasn't got them. 3 - In my experience gravity and muscles, but that's not exhaustive by any means.

Austin Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I also would love to see details on the headboard. I plan on making a headboard for our 1:1 scale RL! :-) Currently it doesnt have a headboard. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wally dugan Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 HOWARD l hope you can see the tail gate assister spring in the two pictures of two types of RL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RecyMech Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 Cheers Wally, many thanks......well that proves they were there anyway !! The body we've copied is a later dropside version...just got one very grainy in service picture which appears to show the assister on the other side, like an MK. One step closer never the less :drive: Thanks again. Best regs........Howard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingy Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Do I understand that you built a rear body for a RL! if so do you have any drawings i could build one from as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean N Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Howard (and Wally), my apologies, I think I'm going senile. My own RL has a tailboard assister on and it'd gone from my memory completely! Howard, I'll email you the full res images. Austin, if you PM me your email I'll send them to you as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
