Beautiful, are You planning "weathering" and put the model on a dio? Second question/ How do You make the lights looking like lights (Glue??) and not like painted plastic?

The models look fantastic. I would say that you have got the shade of green absolutely spot on. I dont really know for sure what colour the canvas should be. I had assumed it was green, but I have nothing factual to support that.
Well done

many thanks,the test kits were built and painted by Tom,he is weathering them and will be including them in a dio with W^D figures.

I have asked him about the headlights,will pass that on as soon as I get a reply.

As promised more pic's from Tom. He painted it Humbrol 155 Olive drab,the headlamps/sidelamps lenses are from Little lenses.

At first glance, I thought I was looking at more photos of the real Thornycroft exhibited at The War Museum, Duxford!

Are these the most detailed and realistic 1/72 model kits? Probably!

BTW There's a review of Little Lenses (I looked them up) here:

Absolutely wonderful, the best British softskin model i've seen! I was lucky enough to visit the Milestones Museum in Basingstoke this weekend where they have a real Thornycroft J type, built in 1916, and like PDA and Tankcommander, when I saw the images of the model in the street I thought it was a photo of the real one in the museum which is in a street scene too!

Any chance of an Albion A10 pretty please?!
