Monty's Caravan-Matchbox kit. Want pics of real thing interior.
Posted by Duke Maddog on Sunday, May 30, 2004 2:48 PM
I'm nearly done with the basic construction of Matchbox's 1/72 scale Monty's Caravan, and have started on the Humber scout car that comes with it. There are no interior details on the model of the truck, yet with the windows open the way they are, and the door able to open, the interior of the living quarters in back just screams to be detailed! I'd like to know if there are any pics of the interior of the real truck so I can try to replicate what it looked like inside while Monty was using it. I had heard that there is a museum in England that has the preserved caravan truck. I had also tried googling Monty's Caravan, Monty's Caravan Interior, The Italian General it was captured from(name escapes me at the moment), and the name of the Italian truck it's based on; but 98% of the hits were for the Matchbox kit! The rest of the hits only vaguely mention the truck ityself and none show interior details. Even a drawing of how it was set up inside would help. I want people to be able to look inside and see it as closely as possible to the way Monty saw it (except in miniature!)

Any assistance will help in this. I'll post more photos of my progress on all my kits a bit later when I have some more time to get them uploaded to Ron's site.

So, nobody is able to help? I tried again to Google, but only the Matchbox kit came up. I hope that someone out there can help.
