Very well done Mike
You are to be congratulated on this one, both for finding it and then for not saying 'repaint' as I'm pretty sure I would have done......

Hello Ewan.
thanks for the Post to the model.
I am not a painter of interesting RW models.
I love the models just as they are.
Kids loved this model, and were playing a long time ago with this car.
Every scratch tells a story of his past.
Greetings Mike

I agree with Dick, a lot of nice models are ignored or just overlooked. Especially by this red model my first thought would be another re-painted model (if I did no know about it from Vectis).

when we have opened the topic 44c, just to remember, there are two unlisted variations:
a) small double braces

Typically has 44c a turquoise refrigerator box, simillar colour like e.g. 1e Mercedes Truck. Here is one model with green refrigerator box. It had been spotted by someone already?
