Details: Modern service vehicles feature in the model fleet built by Les Wrangle. Here's how he made this neat Ford Cargo box truck:
This was constructed from a Rietze model. I dismantled the whole model and using fine wet and dry paper, removed any unwanted markings from the cab and body. Using items from the plastistruct range, I constructed the tail lift from and attached it to the rear of the body using Revell liquid glue for plastics; the same was done for the side, a strip of plastic that was also stuck on the lower edge of the body. Again this was painted using Halfords grey primer acrylic spray paint. Number plates, fleet name, Nos are made by me via the computer, and the blue line was applied with a paint pen. A coat of Humbrol Gloss Coat was applied to the model, which also protects the transfers.
