One i’ve just had built 1;50
All great models on this thread, but I must admit the B Series ERF is one of my favourites
such superb building skills have gone into it along with so many other great builds.
Can I ask what scale it is & where should I start looking for a kit if any are still being
made.
Thanks Dave.
Memo to self, read all the line 1:50.

Hi Dave yes the B series is 1:50 and are metal/die cast you can buy kits from a few companies ASAM is one that springs to mind. In that scale there is also the Corgi Hauliers of Renown series, also WSI and Tekno, modellers have been known to adapt these check out internet for ideas.
Frankies fantastic Ferguson’s Mercedes is actually 1/24th scale and is a plastic kit these are from the likes of Italeri, Revell these are mostly European such as Volvo F12, FH series, Scanias MAN etc. Once again there are aftermarket parts to adapt these vehicles and also a few small companies such as KFS, Modellers Resource, A&N models make resin transkits where you used their kit to adapt say a Vo;vo chassis to older vehicles such as an Atkinson, Scammell, Leland Marathon, T45 etc.
Hope this explains a few more details for you.
And here is a FH series Volvo in 1/24th scale in West of Scotland livery this had the chassis stretched from the basic Italeri kit and fitted with a KFS Volvo double drive rear bogie and a mid lift 2nd axle, heavy duty 5th wheel and RHD dash conversion.
Few models ive done in 1/50 scale, nzg and corgi conversions, the crusader is a 1/48 heavy goods kit.

i need a tipping trailer like that one please any info
The tipping trailer in my pics is a scratchbuilt plastic copy of a heavy goods tasktip trailer.
Heavy goods kits are being reintroduced and I’m sure the trailer will be released soon, they have a page on Facebook (heavy goods metal truck kits) and the new owner Jason sells kits on ebay too.

A word of caution though: ASAM kits are in 1:48, not 1:50 so are not strictly speaking compatible with WSI/Tekno/Corgi/Conrad etc. It really shows up when you mix the two scales in a diorama.
