AEC Dorchester ADV

Album image #1
I started making this vehicle and half way thru painting proces I noticed that something is way off with it. Rear wheel arches, hatches on the roof, position of side door...

Then I did some research and find out that there where 3 Guy Lizard ACV build on AEC Matador chassis.

And this is only one of them. WD number is quite visible. The problem I have been left with, after this discovery, is that I made fals truck roof to look like one one the photo.

But, on AEC Dorchester's they look different.

This is a dry transfer decal. Deep it in to odorless thinner and you can slowly take it off front plastic. Then you place it with a brush. Easy way to deal with dry transfers...

Thank you, Michael. Actually, this camo is quite effective, which can be seen on photo 11 where Dorchester ADV and Matador truck are one next to another. You can't see the difference from aeroplane.
