Earthlike trucks and trailers (0.24.2 & 0.25)

[percyPrune]

Kerfix kits are proud to bring you:

The RAF Recovery set:

Bedford O series tractor, 'Queen Mary' trailer and working Thorneycroft/Coles recovery truck. (should be a crane but I couldn't get a long jib to lift anything reasonable using stock parts)

The Refuelling set:

AEC(ish) bowser carrying liquid fuel and freelance bowser carrying liquid fuel, oxidiser & monoprop. Both can refuel ships using Claw provided.

The bonus set:

Scammell Highwayman tractor and flatbed trailer.

All stock.

Download the pack from: http://s000.tinyupload.com/download.php?file_id=46944651624479483665&t=4694465162447948366583065

All trailers are separate autonomous ships with landing legs and use girder pockets to couple to the tractors. You will have to launch a tractor first and park it off-runway. Then go back to the SPH and launch a trailer, couple up and haul away!

Take the tanks off the refuellers to turn them into 6 wheel artic. tractors using the 5th wheel already fitted.

Keep on truckin!

RAF is British.

EDIT: Okay,maybe i didn't chek my information a bit, but still, nowadays European trucks are usually flat nosed, atleast the big ones, even RAF made its latest trucks flat nosed.

Yes, all designed in the 1940s but in use until much later. I regularly saw a Scammell like that in commercial service until a couple of years ago.

Heh Kerfix.

These are really great dude!

They really look like proper vehicles. I love the AEC bowser. have you made any cargo for the flatbed?

[jmiki8]

I have to say, these are the best truck replicas I've ever seen! They seem so lightweight, there aren't 1289312 parts sticking out everywhere. Despite the low part count, they are really accurate, well done!

[percyPrune]

Thanks for the kind words, guys. I was actually worried that the part count was getting rather high, seeing as they are only peripherals to your main ships.

I've noticed that you may have to be careful with some of the short struts holding the cabs and bonnets (hoods) together. They sometimes jump about between reloads. (Unless it's just me having a wonky install!)

Sorry, mJ, not made any loads. I thought people would have enough crashed aircraft around without me adding more

No probs. Like you say I'm sure peeps can come up with payloads.
