This topic is alluded to with the another poster and his newly acquired Thunderbird and Refreshment van - but I thought it deserved it's own thread.
I have some pics of the most obvious pairings. The Mercedes pair is indeed beautiful. My collection is thousands of km away as I am offshore at the moment and only have my "virtual collection" with me. Pics lifted from the web. Very few of these are my models although I have a blue Dunlop van here!
The two tractor pairs obviously go together.
The 16 b trailer, 15 b road tractor and 8 bulldozer are another obvious combination - replicating the Kingsize Laing model.
In 1-75 the tow vehicles are the
9d - blue and white boat
23 Caravans
38 Honda and trailer
43 horse float
48 a and b speed boat and the
73 refreshment canteen.
What do other members fancy as the ideal combination for these remaining six tow vehicles?
Consider colour, appropriateness, plastic hook v metal hook and capacity to tow in real life. Don't think a 43 a Hillman Minx - one of my all time favourites - really tow anything without overheating.
I rather like the white mustang and blue and white launch. Quite an aquatic look and feel about it. I hope to acquire both models sometime. In my display cabinet I have a beautiful 65 B red jag with a broken tow hook. I disguise that by resting my silver refreshment van on the tab.
What combinations do you recommend?
