Thanks everyone for the kind comments!!

wkma7six-It's an Italeri kit and originally started life as a refridgerated
box lorry (see original thread for a picture of the box art) but I decided
I was going to convert it into a recovery vehicle with lights!!

Ales- I may build another in the future as it was a refreshing change to build something different, and the quality of the kit was very good.

Wishmaster-I wondered if anyone would pick up on the lack of ramps, but the official excuse is it's modelled on a 'beaver-tail' where the whole of the flat-bed moves back to form a ramp and then returns into place
with the car on it under power of a winch, hence the large enclosed part at the front of the bed!!

P/Man-yeah I get what your saying but I intended it to be a general recovery truck, it's just the Corolla was the only 1/24 model I had to hand so on it went! maybe I should get that Castrol Primera and wreck it to form a sort of diorama


Anyway thanks for looking and I'm glad you all like it!!
