Ok.......for the final part of the Faun trilogy i have started the load.........a `Gepard` A1.
The reason for the title is thus...........the pic below that Paul sent me is a Gep on its way the one of the local museums after standing as a Gatekeeper.
The kit...
Where i is at the mo...the mirrors are turned in for transport mode.
Trailer test run..
In the ref pic you will notice there is a largish box just at the start of the `goose-neck` on the trailer.........i`ve looked at feckin` tons of these vehicles and not come across that.......so i decided to add it
The reason i started to do the load is because it`s simply too hot in my study to paint the trailer camo.........might as well get this prepped and spray when it cools down
Cheers chaps

It ain`t a bad little kit mate....just the tracks (but thats personal ), goes together ok as well.........i`m not a big fan of modernish armour so i can`t get over enthused about this part of the build....at the end of the day it`s just the load so it`s strictly outta the box stuff for me

Very nice indeed and a nice coincidence that two transporters with load being built on site but from different eras.

Thanks Tim.........funny enough i very nearly opted for your one a while back but went with the Pioneer Tractor/recovery crane version instead, the M26 Dragon wagon never received a trailer either so i decided best do this one then , yeah i like seeing the two era`s unfold together on site.......i will eventually slip the Scammell transporter in the stash one day
