Right, all "old" vehicles are in 1:76, Airfix gave them the wrong scale 1:72 for a while, because this scale is better for the continent.
The new kit, like the Willys or the RAF / USAAF sets are in 1:72.

The Recovery and Emergeny sets are in 1:76, and the Austin K 6 is an unusul postwar version, see it on the civil number plate.
So we would like to have a new Emergeny set with a Ford WOT 3 fire engine and for the Recovery set would be nice to have a Commer Q 2 and a light Coles crane.

Yes, you need all space in the front and perhaps some behind the cockpit.
The barrel in the kit is for the option, if your weight was not enough.

I use Flickr too and for my models I had made a little scenery with a sky background and an airfield. Mostly there are some people or cars. So you have a better proportions for the model.
