Very nice Commer TV repair van.
I especially like the original ladder and aerial. One hardly ever finds the aerials in good shape.
Enjoy!

That's a nice addition, I think I prefer these to the Rentaset decals. These vans sometimes come up for sale with the accessories on their sprue but I do like these models displayed with the bits in place. Are there any TV sets?

yeah the TVs are in the back of the van so I don't lose them!
I bought a cheap webcam so I can take photos straight onto the computer. Trying to cut out the fuss with cameras and all that. Not as good picture but it's ok.

Hi Chris,nice specimen and thanks for showing
Yes,these do all have thick enamel paint as noticed from the chipping on used/playworn models.I presume its a consequence of the painting procedures or perhaps others could explain if the need arises.

As shown in the factory movies, the casting stands on a kind of turntable. I could imagine, that a model with such a detailed surface needed more turnarounds to be painted everywhere. More turns - more spray everywhere.

Not a RW but a bigger brother! I love this Major, hate the repro tracks though!
This and the car transporter are probably my fav.......
