SkyKing Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 In the dim recesses of my memory I recall seeing a 1/76 scale drawing of an RAF Matador Air Traffic Control lorry. Does anyone else remember it? I'm looking for a copy. It may have appeared in Scale Models magazine or perhaps Military Modelling. I cannot find a reference for it in any Bellona publication.

I cannot find a reference for it in any Bellona publication.Update: I have learned that a drawing of this vehicle is on page 7 of Military Vehicle Pamphlet 4: AEC Matador by M. P. Conniford. If anyone has a copy of this publication, I'd really appreciate a scan of that page. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweezers Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Hi RatchWhat did you use for windows? Clear plastic from Terrys chocolate orange?Did you find a picture of one carrying bombs?The thiness of the 5.5 gun makes it suitable for conversion to a 3.7 AA gun?

Ratch Posted November 17, 2020 Author Share Posted November 17, 2020 IIRC I used clear plastic sheet I bought from a model shop many years ago - plasric packaging sheet would do.I didn't find any pictures of ones loaded with bombs.No idea about the gun.
