As I have forgotten to publish any of the many road vehicles available, I will over the next few days show some examples.
The first few are available from Finney and Smith-see link on the left.
These are solid castings and capture the prototype well.
All scaled around 1:100 they come as a solid casting, from what appears to be car body filler. This is a fine material and easy to work. A small amount of work is necessary on the base to give a definite outline to the tyres.
These two are a Morris Commercial and a Morris Minor 1000 Pick up.
Again, roughly 1:100, the same cleaning up as the Land Rover is needed.
All of these have solid windows, I undercoat the casting and leave the windows in the undercoat colour. A dry brush of silver and varnish completes the effect.
My particular favourite-a Morris Minor MM, the original with flat front wings. This style was altered to comply with US legislation regarding the height of the Headlamps.
This was my first car-side valve engine, no heater but so reliable.
Next time I shall have a look at others available plus a few that can be used from the Matchbox Range.
