Thornycroft 1 1/2 Ton van kit
Permalink   

Kept thinking about converting the ex-Keilkraft kit into a WW1 era Thornycrot lorry.

It seems you'd have to go from this (theoretically, the kit is much simplified): 3759023984_63b4f4d088_o.jpg

to this:

Wonder if anyone knows both ends well and can list the mods/adds needed?

Wheels, body, mudguards, porbably the wheelbase and track... in any case, nothing too difficult to modify from a good basis from the kit. Unfortunately I don't have drawing of neither of these vehicles to compare!

The van as you said is a 1.5 the lorry the GS 3. I am afraid you will have to do a LOT of additions/ alterations. But have a go anyway.

Aren't the overall sizes more or less the same?

Have you a scale drawing ?

The other thing is the wheel hubs are different.
