I know I own several examples, the two pictured are just the ones that came to hand quickly for a picture. There are some tall body versions, and I'm sure at least one tanker.
There's no need to me to buy more. While once this was pretty much the only way to add a lorry to your layout for sensible money, now we are spoiled for choice thanks to the efforts of Oxford Diecast. Even if I really needed lorries, none of the ones I own are gloued down, I can just move them to the latest model
It's not even that accurate a kit, being a bit of a hybrid between two prototypes. The finished model certainly looks the part though. Just the right amount of vintage, from the days when lorries pottered around at 20-30mph.
Although I always rate a Cooper Craft kit, this is a bit fiddly to assemble. Lining up the two sides of the chassis would be a lot easier with some positive location pins to show you exactly where to put the chassis spacers. Mind you, the moudings are nice and crisp for the cam detail. Where that wing mirror fits is a bit of a mystery though.
So it's not that acurate, nor really easy to assemble, but I still can't resist a reasonably priced example.
Why?
