Man, life can really get in the way of hobby sometimes. So in an attempt to get my mini-mojo back I picked up an Airfix kit I bought a couple of months ago in a moment of nostalgia. It is a Bedford truck. As I don’t collect the British (in 28mm) I figured I could use it with my Germans, reasoning that it was left behind in 1940 and subsequently found its way into the Wehrmacht service.
I have not built an Airfix kit in a long long time, so I got a bit of a shock when I opened the box. There are a lot of parts for such a little vehicle.
Forty steps! What had I got myself into?
Actually, the kit is a pleasure. The molding is crisp, the plastic well behaved and the instructions clear. I did get a reminder on why you should read the instructions first. I’m mumbling along at the many tiny parts that create the engine when I realise that I can just glue the hood shut and not have to do any of those bits!
I realise as I type this I’m a windscreen short of finished, but even without it I’m pleased with the result:
Brrm! Brrm!

Just noticed my above comment, was supposed to read “nicely painted too” not “ok”. Smart phone keyboard and chunky fingers!

Looks great!
What scale is it quoted at by Airfix? Does it fit nicely with 28mm?

Thanks. It is 1:48, which I think goes OK with 28mm. It may be a bit weird have say two Stugs, one 1:56, one 1:48, but different scales for different vehicles seems to work OK
