Ford WOA 2A help needed

[cliff]

Hi Guys. I am making up a Roy Models 1/35 scale kit of a Ford WOA 2A like in the picture attached (not sure of source for this picture)

Now the kit parts for the front bumper/nudge bar setup are in such a state that I cannot even use them for patterns so I was wondering if anyone can help with either a printable hi res photo of that area of the vehicle or a high res photo of the whole vehicle I can enlarge to see what is what.

I know Wespe Models now sells these and it is a rip off at the price they want (60euro a kit) for these kits as the quality is not all that good. But when they are the only ones that make them in this scale I guess you pay if you want one.

Cheers
Cliff

PS> when I try to print out or enlarge this print it just distorts

After a long silence ... (I forgotten my password... )

I send you some pictures of my model 1/35 scale from Wespe productions :

Bevans car was sold about 18 months to two years ago, to a well known collector from NSW . I first laid eyes on that particular vehicle in July 1976 , Bevan had just got it road registered , he spotted it while on a trip to the UK and managed to buy it . It was never restored , always in original shape .The club members christened it 'INKY' after its reg. number prefix INK .It was advertised for sale for a long long time , the price 10K , was cheap when you consider its rarity .It almost went back to the UK , at about 3.5K pounds , a bargain for them .

I got to drive it a few times on various club outings . Its last club outing would have been the Avalon airshow , about 10 years ago. It was always a head turner. It had reached the stage where it needs a full body rebuild , not an easy job to say the least .Dry rot has invaded the coach built frame . Bevan actually found the remains of another one , here in OZ , just bits of the chassis. He recalls seeing another one on the road in South Aust. in the 1950's. It appeared in various movies and TV series , 'the Dunera Boys' filmed at Point Cook ,is one I recall.

I hope it gets a new life .
Mike
