I've finished my bit, Mat is going to create a unique real timber cargo bed for it. Nice model to work with. I can only find this and a couple of other Bedfords by Emhar in 1/24. I stuffed up the paintwork a bit when an experiment went wrong, but I'm OK with that, I reckon a truck doesn't really need pristine paintwork. The tray attached to the roof has me intrigued, what could u put up there that wont come flying out over a bump?! It would be difficult to tie anything down.
