Scammell Showtrac

The last purpose-built showmans lorry dating from 1945. Using a standard chassis most were fitted with Gardner engine, engine driven generator, winch and enclosed coachbuilt body. The model uses the same basic materials and build methods as the rest of the MFD range. The chassis can be made from wood or brass. In 1/24th scale the lorry is 205mm (8″) long x 96mm (4″) wide x 107mm (4″ high). Many parts are available for this design together with jigs which will help you form the wheelarches.
