Commer Pick-up 50a ?

I purchased this 50a.
I'm looking for the code of the model.
Code: 24 to 29 ? (gray plastic wheels)
I have to clean the model on the loading area.
What cleaning agents are suitable?
Please send a reply
Thanks, Mike & Nico

Sorry, no answer.
Perhaps no one understands me here.
(or the google translator)

Hi Mike.
Try washing up liquid and an old toothbrush, it works for me, most models will clean ok but don't have the water too hot or the decals may come loose, this should not be tried on models with paper labels because the labels will discolour.

Hi Nick,
thanks for the info.
But, I think it is painted with a paint color.

Hi Mike, Try your wifes nail polish remover but don't get it on the wheels, or brake fluid.

I don't know why it or who moved it, maybe Tinman did not like it ?.

How odd to see this Commer resto question has been merged with a 70b thread - i wonder who did it and for what reason? 1st VBD merged threads I can recall!!

I'm not sure whether
thiswas another black-based 70b, but is is certainly dark (and reminds me on one we discussed on the old forum).
Below is a photograph (the only decent one showing the baseplate) culled from the listing.
