April 14, 2020All built ready for paint.4
April 14, 2020I have moved onto building the Revell GPU.5
April 14, 2020They didn't have a hitch on the front so that was left off.
Instead of using the kits front bumper I used abit of spare plastic and glued it on again to replicate the tube I used to drive.
I also used abit of clear sprue with a hole in the middle and rounded off top as a beacon light that is mandatory at any airport.6
April 14, 2020I modified the rear hitch to imitate the tugs I used to work with.7
October 30, 2019After nearly a decade of this vehicle being partly started I finally I got the nads in gear to find all the bits for the EBT.
This marks the start of my joint airport diorama and layout.8
April 14, 2020Closer view.9
April 14, 2020The Ground Power Unit is looking better.10
April 14, 2020Wheels on.11
April 14, 2020I painted the base colour black, masked for the top and finished with US Dark Green.12
July 13, 2021The back has been masked up too.13
July 13, 2021Another little thing I wanted to do.
I cut the Towbar off and installed some magnets, 1 into the GPU and 2 into the Towbar which makes it possible to have it either stowed(brakes on) or extended.14
July 13, 2021The Instrument Panel has been masked.15
July 13, 2021I have made the decision to adjust the paint work on the Ground Power Unit.
I restarted with using 3mm Tamiya tape as a test to visualise how big I needed the control panel to be.16
August 20, 2021I then removed the masking tape and hand painted the black as I am now confident how big I want the control panel!
I then used leftover bits off an Airfix Red Arrows 50th Hawk to create an instrument panel similar to the ones I used to work with.17
April 14, 2020Hitch has been dry fitted.18
April 14, 2020I'm going to use the 2nd hitch that came with the Revell EBT as the Hasegawa Ford Tractor doesn't come with a front hitch and it will need 1 as it will be used to push aircraft back.19
April 14, 2020Built it!20
April 14, 2020Now for the Hasegawa Ford Tractor.21
January 9, 2021I love the engine detail!22
January 9, 2021All finished!23
April 14, 2020The Hasegawa Ford Tractor didn't come with any wheel axles so I cut 2 pieces of 0.81mm rod.24
April 14, 2020All built and primed.25
November 27, 2020All details painted and wheels attached26
November 27, 2020Primed white and top coated Yellow.27
April 14, 2020Next is the Revell Aircraft Towbar.28
November 27, 2020Both Hasegawa Ford Tractor and Revell Aircraft Towbar attached to Hasegawa F-15B.29
November 27, 2020Another view.30
November 27, 2020Looking good in my eyes.31
November 27, 2020And all finished.32
November 27, 2020Zvezda's wheel chocks built & painted in 1 night.33
January 9, 2021Here is abit of testing to see if they all worked together.34
January 9, 2021Close up.35
January 9, 2021IMHO they definitely do work together as I find memories coming back when I look at these pictures.36
November 27, 2020The plan is a repaint to make it a more realistic looking colour.37
November 27, 2020I've had this crew ladder for a while now but I've never known were it came from.38
November 27, 2020My wife did a great job painting them US Dark Green.
There all fully finished now.
Just a few more items from that set to go.39
September 25, 2020More of Hasegawa's Ground Support Set has been built.40
April 16, 2021And I used some spare Hawk T.1 cockpit decals for the instruments.41
April 16, 2021Detailed42
April 16, 2021Motorized hydraulic ordinance lift has been finishes.43
January 22, 2024The RAF once used the Mercedes-Benz Unimog to maneuver their Harriers.
For a long time HHrA couldn't seem to track any down.
HHrA finally got our Unimogs!44
January 22, 2024All she needs is a front towbar attachment Mod and she'll be fully capable of service!45
March 1, 2024I went searching through the Matchbox collection and found a second one!
I've decided to name them all.
The Green Uni is Jurgen Klopp and the Blue Uni is Toto Wolff.
