For quite a while now, the Scottish manufacturer, Accurate Armour have had a series of Airfield vehicles listed as being in-development. Now, the company have mailed us with details of this impressive-looking range which are NOW available.
There are three, 1/48th scale kits now available. The models are in resin, with PE where appropriate, and include all the necessary markings. All of the subjects are primarily for WWII, but since their service life was considerable, they can be used well into the Post-War period - as appropriate for a Hurricane as a Javelin...

K48009: Bedford QL 950 Gallon AVTUR Refueller with booms (£51.05 Export, £61.26 U.K./E.C.)

A complete 1/48th scale resin model kit of the Classic British WW2 (& Post War) Bedford QL 4x4 950 Gallon AVTUR Refueller (RAF) by David Jane. AVTUR Refuellers filter the fuel to make it sutable for turbine (Jet) powered aircraft.
The model features internal cab and pump chamber detail, elevating booms, suspension, and chassis. A rubber hose line is also included. A standard RAF vehicle for both concrete airfields operating Jet Aircraft.

This model shown depicts a vehicle in Post WW2 RAF service (Extensive alternative decals are also included).

K48010: Thompson Vc 3-wheeled Refueller (£29.79 Export, £35.75 U.K./E.C..)

A complete 1/48th scale resin model kit of the Classic British Thompson 3-wheeled Refueller Mk-Vc by David Jane. Thompson Brothers Ltd started to produce 3-wheeled refuellers for civilian airstrips long before WW-2. The low profile and abiliy to swing the fuel tank under the wings of aircraft allowed the tanker to be positioned close to small aircraft in confined spaces. These were produced in large numbers for the RAF and used on fighter airfields throughout WW-2 and beyond.


The model shown depicts a vehicle in WW2 and decals are provided for RAF fighter squadron options along with a selection of standard markings.

K48012 Bedford QL 950 Gallon Petrol Tanker (£51.05 Export, £61.26 U.K./E.C.)

A complete 1/48th scale resin model kit of the Classic British WW2 (& Post War) Bedford QL 4x4 950 Gallon Petrol Tanker (RAF & ARMY) by David Jane.
The model features internal cab and detailed pump chambers, suspension, and chassis. Hose lines are also included. A standard RAF and Army vehicle for airfield and general fuel transport duties.

This model shown depicts a vehicle in WW2 RAF service (Extensive alternative decals are also included).

Don't be greedy, Al, I'd like them in 1/32nd scale, however.

Wow! Much more welcome than another Pzr IV or T-34! I'd love to get my hands on one. Dragon could learn much from this trio.

Hi Jim, Thanks for sharing this news. I have decided for quite some time not to buy resin kits anymore but I may well do an exception for a couple of those... Jean-Luc
