Details: Some service vehicles can be modelled with little modifications, but as seen here, neat painting and transfer applications are key to producing a realistic model. Here's Les again:
1071Q is another Base Toys model. Once again the model was dismantled including the wheels and axles, as you can move the position of the front axle if need be. I made and fitted a headstock that was fitted to the body and a strip of plastistruct to raise the height of the tailboard. The model was repainted in the usual way, and transfers added when dry. Wing mirrors were added and the wheel centres painted to look like Red Oxide.
