Alexandr Uhlik Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Hi, I am working several days on Airfix beautiful new Bedford. My intention is to make this Started by tuning up the gas tanks and rear fenders. Next was the canvas top. As you can see on the original photo, the truck I am doing is of the fixed canvas type - i.e. it is considered a "van". So I had to fabricate a frame for a canvas. I made a new canvas top for a cab, too. Next will be filters, stains, dust, oil, rust etc. etc. etc. S. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexandr Uhlik Posted September 12, 2015 Author Share Posted September 12, 2015 Nice!!!! What did you use for the canvas - it looks great! wooow!!! Yup... the canvas look fantastic!! what did you use? Thanks guys, I'm glad you like it Well, the canvas No tricks guys, just a very thin light paper - the silk paper. It is very thin having one side glossy and the other flat with some sort of structure. Work is quite easy. You just need some thined white glue. The only problem is the silk paper shrinks a lot when the glue dries. I know it because my canvas top construction collapsed during the first attempt . The second time I've make the paper more relaxed and the result - you see Thanks again Alexandr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One-Oh-Four Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Great model, Alexandr! I take it that this is a British Army vehicle or is it RAF - Desert Air Force? Looks like a great little truck to complement an 1/48 RAF bomber!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexandr Uhlik Posted September 12, 2015 Author Share Posted September 12, 2015 Eric, this particular vehicle is of British Army in Tunis. But a lot of Bedfords were used by RAF on airfields. So diarama with a bomber, say Lancaster for instance, and it's crew could be quite realistic I supose... Regards Alexandr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
