Back in the eighties I met a guy in Dover who asked if he could take some pictures of my truck. He was from the Carlisle area and said he was called Malcolm the Model man. I just wondered if any body had heard or knew of him.

malcolm fletcher, i have met him a couple of times, nice fellow if a bit odd, he was an accountant in the RAF and a big truck nut - his models had me in awe when i was a kid, but looking back it was mainly the great decals a mate of his used to make for him, rather than the model making itself?
he set off on a trip with one of my subbies to turkey a few years ago, but bailed out at maria’s for some unknown reason and returned to UK with one of pulleyn’s - not heard from or of him since
SORRY PETE I THOUGHT U WERE TALKING ABOUT THE S/A
THERE WAS A CROWD AOSHIMA THAT DID THEM,I HAD BID AND WON ONE ON EBAY BUT IT NEVER ARRIVED,BUT LUCK PAYPAL REFUNDED ME .
1/32 SCALE I KEEP AN EYE OUT TO SEE IF ANY SO FINGERS CROSSED
KFS WOULD HAVE TO DO A MINIMUM AMOUNT 50-100 BEFORE IT WAS WORTHWHILE…

let us know on the quality of the german decals please david?, im into my tankers and ive got it in my head to do a m a n unit with a lift tank in bertschi colours in the future…pete.p.s. heres some pictures of how the sed atk 400 is coming along, again it will be in a tanker livery, castrol oils…pete
this truck is fantastic. its very good. i am guessing you have got the parts from kit form services? i thought i would try my hand at making my own cab lol. its not very good, but i used bits of plastic, a ligher to melt the plastic and some car body filler. i was 18 at the time.

hmm ebay strikes again eh david?, yeahcan see its not too viable for KFS to produce a hino.
road ranger, yep its a KFS 401, chopped down to a day cab and converted to a 400. i like the scratchbuilt atki btw if thats what you built with a lighter and body filler, would like to see what you can knock up now…
