The video just knocked me out!
Quite an emphasis on commercial vehicles this month and a really long 67 page read. Very interesting and while my collection is primarily cars, I am surprised how many of the exhibited models here are in my collection. Thanks once again John.
Lots to see in this issue. Those Teknos were a steal - wonder if Karl has them?
The airport support vehicles article was very good. I have the Matchbox BOAC coach (an early version with a clear decal), the Budgie tanker, and used to have the Metz fire truck. But I also have several airport fire vehicles by Conrad, First Response, and TWH.
The NYPD vehicle is a beauty. But I've suspended collecting 1:50 scale vehicles for the most part.
Finally, the pic of the 1940 Ford woody confirmed something for me. I thought the Minichamps model was in error without contrasting wood paneling between the framework. But it's all the same shade - glad I didn't consider detailing it!
