Title: Hucks starter and Crossley tender
Post by: IanB on October 07, 2012, 05:35:21 AM: Although not a diorama (yet) I thought these pics may be useful for someone as reference for a future project. They are both at the RAF Museum, Hendon. Sorry they're not too good, there's very limited access for photo angles, but they are better than nothing!

I always have to fight the Museum conditions , too; so please don't worry on angles and lighting conditions.

Post by: Des on January 17, 2013, 09:53:50 PM: I also have a T model Ford kit, it is an old Pyro kit (1967) which I was going to convert into an ambulance, but the Hucks starter looks an interesting subject, food for thought.

Post by: Tony Haycock on April 14, 2013, 11:30:59 AM: If anyone is feeling the need to create a Crossley, either Tender or Staff Car, the British vintage and veteran magazine "The Automobile" has recently published a 30 Year anniversary edition, which has a ten page feature on RFC Crossleys, with some period photos plus good detail shots of a pair of surviving vehicles. Plenty of useful stuff in there.

Could you possibly scan those photos for the forum? I believe there's enough interest here for just that. Thanks in advance my friend.
