Check this out. Based on stock scx10ii. All custom homemade bits and pcs put together. Light and works ok.Outside the box here but what about the Chevy Blitz AKA Canadian Military Pattern built for the Commonwealth forces mostly by Chevrolet but some by Ford in a rare cooperative production. There were a lot of the Chevys still in use in the '70s in Australia, complete with the stovebolt inline 6, the Ford versions using the flathead V8, particularly among the Queensland banana farmers. A half a million of these vehicles were built and played a big role in the war effort.
They would lend themselves well to a nice rust patina for the scale boys. Short front overhang would give a great approach angle and the tray could be fiddled a bit if needed for departure angle. They came in lots of configurations, single cab, double cab, ambulance, gun tractor etc. I even saw some with round hatches in the roof, probably for a gun mount, most likely Lewis or Bren.
The final picture is of a Ford version with what was called the type 11 cab.![]()
