Hi all.
As advised by some fellow members.I have created a topic on this.
I am new to this site so please bare with me, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it.
I've always had an appreciation for the Rhodesian Services, as my parents are Rhodesians, and many if my family were involved with the bush war in some way.
Without getting to carried away.
I wanted to do a G Car. And having looked around. I found that a couple people had actually done so and posted online. One individual is a member of this page, and as I mentioned yesterday, the inspiration came from them. So thank you sir, Mr Anthony Ricco.
You did an excellent job sir.
Thank you to all those who chipped in on my previous post. Very welcoming.
I digress.

I have attached photos of the kit in question, progress on what I have started. And inspiration from archived footage online.
I have left out Mr Riccos images as those can be found here.

I also need to mention again. The help I received from Mr Hugh Bombford, of the Retired Rhodesian Services Association.
Hugh sent through some photographs of the display they have at the Lion and Tusk Museum in Tauranga New Zealand.
Please do check them out online and if your around that way go check it out.
