I just completed building an SS Ltd Autocrar kerosene truck kit. It is probably the worst SS Ltd kit I ever built. The instructions were bad, some parts did not match the instructions, and assembly was difficult since some parts did not fit together as per the instructions.
This truck is based on a very old truck but there is no indication of what year the truck represents. I substituted parts for what the kit contained. As an example the figure supplied for the driver was bigger than what should fit in the cab so I replaced the seat with a wood piece. The "hose" they supplied was a piece of thick black flex wire that looked terrible so I substituted a cast metal hose reel on the rear of the tank.
The resulting model is OK but not great.
I painted the truck blue as apparently kerosene barrels were usually blue.
Next I will build a structure that will be a kerosene supply shop.
