Very, very nice! Love all that underside detail.
Would there be an option with raised driver's top? Can we see more of the body interior?
Lots of potential conversions!
Thanks,doing something right at last.The masters were done by Ian. With the chassis there will be the oppurtuity to do a few different bodies,the A/A gun,pidgeon loft and the armoured version.
I should be getting the complete kits sometime next week,not sure about an etch for this one.
I will keep you all posted.After this will be the Foster Daimler tractor.

It looks great. But shouldnt you be referring to it as the LGOC GS lorry as opposed to the AEC GS lorry?
Hmmm. The X-type (1909) was definitely LGOC. So was the B-type, produced in 1910. But in 1912 the merger of LGOC and the Underground Electric Railways Company of London created the Associated Equipment Company as the manufacturing division of LGOC. So, acc to Roy Larkin, vehicles produced thereafter were officially AEC.
I'm not sure that I understand it totally.
I don't disagree with any of that which is all perfectly true. I think they were a little confused as to what to call them during the war. This ASC memo from February 1917 summarises the situation best.
i). All LGO lorries, whether labelled LGO or AEC are to be called LGO.
ii). All Daimler lorries with sleeve valve engines, no matter whether they have been constructed by the Daimler Company or by the Associated Equipment Company of Walthamstow, are to be called Daimler, even though their radiators may at present be marked AEC.
iii). All AEC lorries with Tylor engines are to be called AEC.
iv). Lorries with sleeve valve engines and LGO back axles are to be called Daimler-LGO Combinations.
The memo goes on to say that A number of the more recently delivered Daimler Y type lorries have been sent overseas with a radiator bearing the title AEC. In order to avoid confusion, radiator plates with the word Daimler on them are being sent overseas with a view to their being fitted by units over the AEC.

While you are on the thread,with the etch in mind,did they have any type of logo on the front of the radiator.The Dennis and the Thorneycroft had, I can't find any good pictures.
