Pretty little vehicle, G!!! :thumbsup:

Has the makings of a durable, tough tow tractor, able to haul any V-Bomber!!!

The detail on the rear deck is awesome!!

Sales of Airfix kits plummeted in the 1980s, and GCSEs had to be made easier as a result - James May

Nice.  Like these 50's and 60's Heath Robinson-esque vehicles.  Do you have any 3-view diagrams, dimensions etc?  It would be really useful to make these as 3D models for use in airfield scenes...

Hi Thorvic
Nice looking model.
At least I`m not the only one trying to get accs` for dio`s etc.
I find plans etc for airfield vehicles really thin on the ground, any suggestions for good sources?
Once again well done

Aircav actually got the drawings of the Sentinel from the RAF museum archieve at Hendon, so if you know what you want send them an enquiry as they may be able to help

"The Encylopedia of the Royal Air Force" from the 1980's had 1/76 drawings of some of the RAF vehicles of the time.

AirfiX did cover WW2 RAF Vehicles in one of thier modelling guides if you want the Wartime period.

BW models actually do a range of white metal post war british vehilces that includes the various crash tenders, ambulances, crew buses and possibly a refueller. They also ground support equipment and decals.
