British Airfield Vehicles in 1/48 scale

 

 

Description

Derek Hanson from Accurate Armour has supplied the following information about a new range of 1/48 scale models:

We will have by the end of this month the start of our new range of kits! I hope that they will be of interest to your readers.

 

This new range of classic vehicle kits from Accurate Armour in 1/48th scale will enable Aircraft modellers to compliment existing aircraft models with period vehicles and equipment. These kits combine fine detail with ease of assembly and come as standard with simple to apply brass detail set, full colour decals, and any other building materials required. They are supplied boxed with full colour instructions.

 

The first subjects designed by David Jane and Derek Hansen depict four classic WW2 RAF vehicles, which also served on USAF airfields in the UK during WW2, and Post War with the RAF well into the 1960’s. Every Airfield would have at least 3 out of 4 of these vehicles on site, in some cases in large numbers. All vehicles were used on both tarmac and grass airstrips.

 

Some of the subjects also have a dual interest for 1/48th scale AFV and vehicle modellers/collectors of army subjects, these kits also contain suitable army tactical & unit markings.

 

The first subjects are:-
