Hi..

I am building a scale model (1:87) of the Bedford TK & the FORD D-series, but I need blueprints.

Is it possible to obtain blueprints of these trucks?
I am willing to pay for it..


Best regards
Henry

I doubt anyone has blueprints but plenty of these vehicles still around. Can you work from photos?

Well I could try, but I dont have any useable photos myself.

In our climate up here in Denmark the red ants thrives well. They have eaten these types of vehicle a long time ago. :'(
They are not very rustproof.

I can get some at the next event I go to, unless another forum member has some handy. The Bedfords were not too bad for rust here, perhaps because their oil leaks kept it at bay ;D ;D

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationHave you checked out what is available in model railway HO scale models at all ?
Seems that they are available and you can buy them on E-bay.

Much easier to modify one of these, than attempt to scratch build one.

atkipete:
That would be nice.. Thanks

Greenie:
Yes, I have checked out the market. The ones you link to are 1:76 and diecast models. In my opinion diecast are too rough for small 1:87 scale models.
Thanks for your input anyhow.

If I could get blueprint or a precise drawing, I would try to make a plastic mold with my CNC milling machine.
A friend of mine works at a plastic factory and he has promissed to help..
