Mike knowing the wheelbase means I can scale off that drawing if it is in proportion. Knowing also that you are into old wireless sets as well can you give me any info on the different sets and aerials as well?

Thanks again

Edit: I have found resin 1/35 scale #11 wireless sets which I will buy for this project.

I'd be interested in seeing any pics of this vehicle type, in use outside of Australia - I've never seen any

From what I understand, many wireless installations were AD HOC in nature . The crews were given license to arrange things to suit themselves .

BTW some of these were still in use with CMF units into the late 1950's early 60's era .

The army did the comms for the 56 Melbourne Olympic games , and during the marathon race, they had one of these trucks following the runners .
