I picked up a new model from Vanguards in ModelZone yesterday. It's a Ford 300E van in 1/43 scale done as 1054F. They've got the right registration (TXV887) and a little 1054F fleetnumber on the wings. There's a representation of a slip-in plate on the doors with 'WHITECHAPEL' on it. It appears that they've copied all this from the picture of this van on page 118 of the Capital Transport Service Vehicle book. Not sure the green paint is the right shade but it's a nice little model. Is this the first time that Corgi have got the detail right on a service vehicle model? Anyway, I like it although I'm sure the rivet-counters will find something wrong with it. Limited edition of 1100 with certificate - get yours now. |
