Neat build, the wheels shouldn’t work but strangely do ! I built mine a a Surrey gala including 2wd conversion, there are a surprising number of differences to the military version that I was unaware of prior to the build. -

Nice build, this is one of my favourite TD kits that could have been full size back in the day.

I’m a little unsure as to which section of the forum this fits being a mid sized truck but I’ll park it here for now and slowly back away. This is the result of combining a Revell ‘50 Ford F1 pick up and an Italeri Opel Blitz truck by someone who has never seen either in the flesh. The bed of the Opel was shortened by approx 10mm to get the front wheels centred in the newl enlarged fender openings and various frame cross membered were moved or deleted to make way for the flathead and matching Ford mount. Bumper and grille were dechromed and painted to add to the commercial feel along with scratch built turn signal lamps. A rummage in the parts box found some suitable crates and barrels for the bed then everything received a generous coating of weathering powders. I’m not claiming any sort of accuracy with this build but I do like the result and it has cleared 2 kits from the stash.

I have an unstarted Rough Rider for sale on EBay here in the U.K. that I’m happy to ship if you want to deal ?

Well, it IS a truck.

Nice work on you LARC so far, strangely there were 2 abandoned LX-50’s in a yard near the Portsmouth shipyards here in the U.K. for many years that I think have now gone.
