BTW, if you think about restoring the zodiac - the windowframes are available at modelcarparts!

That's interesting, wonder how it fixes to the model.

Here a picture of some models I got from a friend for free.
Sadly the bedford ambulance is missing one door.
The Tipax is a godd update to those I already had.

The fire chief car with red roof light is rare. Nice gift. Does the Tippax have the weep hole in front of grey dump?

With superglue or epoxy. You will need to file both the model and then the replacement screen frame to fit the model. It requires some delicate work as the screen frame will bend (and/or break) very easily if not held with great care. The white metal replacement parts are much softer than zymac.

Hi,
I do not make a restauration until I get a better model.
But I fixed the sparepart on the model and put some paint on it.
Now it is of course not perfect but I think I the model looks a bit better than without windowframe.

Looks like it blended in quite nicely
good work

Today is a good day.
First a colleague from Hungary brought me the four Superfast models and as I came home from work there was a parcel from Jason with some more models.

Gabor thanks again for the Superfast models. I can remember my Grandfather who gave me the same articulated truck as a present as he visited us when I was a little boy. Very nice to remember that.

Jason many thanks to you as well and especially for the Vauxhall to restore. I like the color sheme so if it works I will repaint in like it is now.
The Chevrolet is compared to the model I have a real update. Same with the ERF tanker. The sit hut truck is very nice too and the Austin is a model I didn´t have yet.
So one more of the 1-75 range less to look after.
