Nice idea with the G.H. Osty Label :-)
Tooked me a while to understand.

The Bedford ice cream van is brilliant too.
Did I see right that even the length of the commer part was shortend?

Stephan in the pic below you can see how I sectioned the models to get them to fit together, I wanted to retain the the fuel filler door of the Bedford as well a the refrigeration vent of the Commer.

All the cuts were done with a hand saw and then filed to get a good fit
The front part of the Commer roof sits on top, of what is left of the Bedford roof and the rear section of the Commer sits down over, what is left of the tailboard of the Bedford. Then it's all put together and blended in, with JB Weld epoxy.
