Another good video by Calum, this time on the luxury trailers built by International Harvester for Italian explorer Captain Attillio Gatti, and used on his 1938 expedition in the Belgian Congo:

In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.

Interesting land yacht. For a second I thought the thread was about river yachts. My mind went back to Joseph Conrad and the "Roi Des Belges" from "Heart of Darkness"

Of course, for those on a more restricted budget... ;D

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
