Oi, don't get folks all excited!!!
These won;t be around until next year., thats if I can actually manage to get all the plans I need.
For some strange reason, its very difficult to get hold of civilian vehicles plans, unless any of you guys know a good source

Next year sounds like heaven after you've been waiting for a decade Nigel.

[Arlequín]

Next year or not, they will be a welcome addition as 30's vehicles are hard to come by variety wise, unless you use 'toy' cars.

Hopefully we'll see this range become viable and perhaps some of the more mundane military models will make an appearance.

I have to make it pay for itself, which is why the Zil and the Ford get done first.
Both models are useable in WW2 Soviet armies, so I can cross sell to that market.
Good thing is, that by making the vehicle masters myself, the only cost is for the moulds, so I save a bit there.

Softskins get left out, but are great for games, so hopefully we can redress this.
I'll post some pics when the masters are done.

Don't bother, guys: Willie B is a shareholder of Anglian (or - at least - he should be if you view his collection...) 

[SgtPerry]

Great news for the ones who played WW2! I'm looking forward to seeing the vehicles!

[MikeH]

This is great news Nigel, I'll be warming up my credit card in readyness

[WillieB]

Pedantic smartass warning!

The ZIL company ( Zavod Imeni Likhacheva) didn't come into existence until 1956.
Almost certain you mean the ZIS 5 or 6 (Zavod Imeni Stalina)

The Citroen T45 is a lovely vehicle perfect for the period

but perhaps the T23 is even better 'in style' for the 20s and early 30s

Very hard to find decent pictures of older trucks, let alone plans.
I found this nice pic of an old Bedford but I'm not sure of the type WHG, WLG or perhaps even an older AC?


Here's a 1934 Bedford
