Bedford QLD 3-ton Truck - Drawing Update 190418

[Rubicon Models]

We are trying to start a new project each month aiming to build up our product range - plastic, resin, pewter or mix media!



Enjoy!

Hmm - looks like a Bedford.  In which case I think there should be a filler cap on top of the radiator.

Oooh, more British softskins (and I do not mean the tanks).

Is it a Leyland or an AEC?

Slight divergence.

Looks British, and a good book on British trucks of WW2 like the one shown below should be very useful in identifying this one.

VERY preliminary drawing of the Bedford QL truck.  Hopefully will cover both the QLD and QLT variants in plastic.



Enjoy!

Very nice .    I'm hoping  one of these is somewhere down the road .... once you release a 6 pounder

[ultravanillasmurf]

Excellent.

A record breaker for us... It took us less than two weeks to complete 3D drawing for this Bedford QLD truck! Now moving to the next stage... prototyping!

The original plan was to do a QLD/QLT combo; unfortunately, the technical spec for the two trucks are so different, we had to give up that idea. We will do a QLT if there is enough demand for it.











Enjoy!

Very nice.

Every photo I have found of this vehicle shows a filler cap on top of the radiator. I mentioned this earlier. The 'Bedford' logo plate also seems to be the wrong shape.

Like pinky says , it needs a rad cap

I would think there would be more demand (from gamers) for the QLT (which carried troops), rather than the QLD (which was a general service cargo carrier).

Rest assured, it was added after the posting.

I didn't notice that it's not the troop transport (I was too busy rivet-counting on the cab).  I think this is a very important point.  I agree that the majority of gamers will want the troop transport.
