Blue Steel Missile Trolley - 1:72 Drawings?

[dr_g 849]

All,

I'm building the new-tool 1:72 Airfix Vulcan. I'd like to finish it with a full load of 21 iron bombs (supplied), and the Blue Steel missile displayed next to it on a trolley.

Re. the trolley, I can only find a very expensive metal version, and a "TBA" Matador transporter (also very expensive).

Does anyone have drawings, or good photos of the trolley, with some dimensions, or at least something I can roughly scale from?

Current plan is to CAD one up, and 3D print it in resin (unless there's a good file already available).

Thanks in advance.

Here's a GA of the Mandator carrier/loader:

Is this any good?

Is it possible to work out dimensions from those photographs using the kit missile?

The pintrest photo(linked to)has crew in it to possibly give some scale.
