RCAF Truck help


Recommended Posts

Being both a Canadian and an aircraft builder, I have little idea about cars and trucks. However, I'd like to recreate part of this picture and find myself in need of a 1/72 truck. Doing a little Google work, I see PST has a 1943 Ford that looks similar, but it appears to be out of production. (Heck I'm not even sure if that is a Ford in the picture.)

 

Any suggestions?

Jim, What I'm dying to know is, what markings are those Buffalos are in? Unless they are significantly washed out from the photos, they don't look British. Because of size and shading, they actually look more like French roundels. And this would be the first time I've ever seen Buffalos in French markings. Are they Finnish? I look forward to your enlightenment, thanks.

 

Just Some Buffalo Fan,

Ken

Ken,

 

They are Belgian. Belgium fell before they could be delivered, so they were instead shipped off to England and used by the RAF and the FAA.

Jim,

Not sure if you are familiar with EBAY, but here are some links to ford trucks that might be useful and then you could always try the train scale option.
