British aircraft recovery trailer / tender trailer

[Jamo]

I would love to see one of these produced as a model. What do others think? Would make for some outstanding dioramas





























I think these next images may be from Doug Baumann:

What a great idea Jamo, would certainly add a lot of interest to dioramas, thanks for posting the images.

Yes, definitely a great idea.

I agree, that one good  idea. Maybe Taurus or Aviattic can step up for the task...

Excellent news Richard, looking forward to hearing any further developments with this project.

Great Idea: I remember an article in Airfix Magazine (probably a special booklet) in the '80s:
actually I had started to scratchbuild one in 1/32, using a converted Ol Billy Bus as a trailer... it is still to be completed in some drawer of doom.

Done!This is my 72nd scale trailer made a few years ago...wish I had had your fotos then,Jamo!

   Your timing is impeccable, (made me laugh)
       Your scene is Brilliant
       Great work there,Matz,as always !

                Matt.

Seen many of those photos many times and still never fully comprehended that the trailer was a standard, specialized aircraft handling item. Definitely a great idea for a kit.

    Like Bo I always assumed the trailer was something cobbled together at the front to fit an immediate requirement to recover a few aircraft. When you consider that aircraft recoveries, both friendly and captured, were a very common occurrence a purpose designed and built piece of equipment makes perfect sense.

Great idea, James....glad Richard already thought if it!

Hello gentlemen,
I'll follow. It will be fine for a diorama.
Best regards.

Pity we don't have a 'like' feature. Nice modelling Matz!

[Rob Hart]

Kits of that trailer could conceivably lead to more botched/unfinished aircraft models reaching completion.

Thanks for posting the photos, James. If someone can provide me with dimensions of the real thing I may have a go at scratchbuilding one in 72nd scale.
