Wanted - die cast RN/RAF Refueller lorry

Post by The Star of Woo » Mon Jun 25, 2018 7:30 pm

I know it's a long shot, but I'll ask anyway. Does anyone have, or even know where I can purchase a model, preferably die cast, of a green or even yellow refueller/bowser/tanker please? Am having no luck, seem to be as scarce as hens teeth, if it even actually exists!!

Hi David

Thanks ever so, unfortunately they're all too 'old' am after something more present day, well, at least this side of the 1980s!!! The kind that are in service at Yeovilton, Culdrose, Coningsby now. If you, or anyone can think of where I might get such a thing, if indeed it even exists, that would be very much appreciated.

Hi there,

Really not sure what is available die-cast/pre-built (pretty sure it is zero) but these appear to be metal kits, not sure if that is what you are looking for, or what scale you are looking for:

I'm pretty sure that there are plastic/resin kits out there for the modern refuellers in 1/72nd scale, not sure about 1/48 scale, but try Hannant's website or the Britmodeller forum - if they don't know, no-one will!

All the best,
SD
