Felly Magic Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I payed bugger all years back for a sealed Dinky 'Atlantean' kit, it's a Fleetline, but that is by the by, painted it up in a fictional deregulation liveru, and put wheels on from an EFE that were far better than the shite 'whizzwheel' type they came with. Wish I'd room for one of those D series tippers, I'd paint it mid blue to look like the old lorry that delivered our coal when I was a nipper, and yes my parents and my brother both have open coal fires, and feck me, do they belt out some serious heat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sierraman Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 The Rover SD1 and the TR7 they did were pretty foul compared to the offerings by Corgi at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conrad D. Conelrad Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 This isn't from childhood, but I don't remember buying it. One of the earlier versions of these Corgi 1/36 Minis. I like the later ones with lovely little Minilites, separate grilles and lovely jewel headlights. Although this one has the BL wing badge cast into it, which is nice. Less chat, more spray. I painted it white, then red, then dusted orange over the front, then covered the whole thing with that transparent yellow paint I'm always complaining about. Then a thick coat of lacquer. I'm amazed it's still recognisable. Really like how it came out though. Skizzer, Datsuncog, Spottedlaurel and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felly Magic Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 On the subject of diecasts for weapons, I don't think you can beat that Corgi airport fire tender that squirts water, that is one hell of a diecast to twat someone with, I used mine when my older brother used to bully me, if he saw me with it, he would stay well away, as grazed shins were a guarantee Junkman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Split_Pin Posted May 22, 2018 Author Share Posted May 22, 2018 Awesome job on the Mini, original colour too. I only recall these early omes in orange, black and a silver racing scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
