You won't need to buy a Stirling just for the tractor any more! Now I don't like modelling forums that discuss "fatal flaws" just from a CAD image and long before we hold the plastic in our hands, but those bomb fins do look a bit thick though.

That looks great, The towed bowser was the most common type on all commands in the early WW2 years later as larger ac came into service that type of bowser was modified to carry engine oil and coolant. Can't wait, have put aside enough of the winter fuel allowance for 2 sets !!!!

I love the fact that it will compliment any WWII aircraft diorama and i think the 'utilly' vehicles looks like a 'Standard12' type so that is most welcome as well as the S.B.C. containers. The towed bowser i shall reserve judgement on as it looks a little deep in the tank itself.
Shall have to purchase a few of these if only to get a greater number of the engine tressles ! (might be able to do a bit of swoping).

Dont think a diecast of such a vehicle is available in small scale although there is a white metal kit in 1/48th available from a certain manufacturer.

Try looking under ASAM models, (dont know if they are still on the go as one of the two gents was retiring). 'Hartsmith' was another.
Also try putting in 'AEC' in the search engine via GOOOOOgle ......
