Lukas Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I have just ordered the cute Kaiser Henry J from SunStar and will report how good or bad that is when I get it. Its the cheapest SunStar 1:18, so maybe this tells you how popular this model is. It arrived today! And its a very "special" model. Some details like the bonnet-hinges or the boot with all the equipment in it are a piece of art. And other things like the paint-finish for example are complete rubbish. But it is a very nice model for the money over all. Even with the "original" brochure that comes with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercrocker Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I suspect the paint finish on full size Kaiser Js was probably not the best, either! Adds to the appeal.... Leave it out to gather dust for a year or so and then display it. Nice looking model, indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierraman Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Picked up yesterday for a paltry £1. Steering was broke, 5 minutes putting the bottom joints back into the arm and it was fixed. Why oh why is it that hard on the real thing! Anyway I've got this one already so I'm going to eBay this one, bought it by sheer fact it was cheap.

eddyramrod Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Leyland! Hahahahahahahahahahaha! That was an Iveco IIRC. It may also have been available as a Magirus. Good save though. andrew e 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierraman Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I've only seen the cement mixer badged as a Deutz. Probably because they would have been a rare sight in the UK anyway. Curiously for a British model it features left hand drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkman Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 What's wrong with the paintwork? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Split_Pin Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 I've got that milk tanker, had it since 1986. I used to love looking through the Britains Catalogue. I always thought the lorries were quite representative of those seen on the road, even if it is an old Iveco Fiat cab. My friend at the time had a cattle transporter badged as a Ford and with a headlights sticker on the grille part to make it look a bit like a Cargo. I always wanted a yellow tipper lorry or cement mixer from the Roadworks range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukas Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 What's wrong with the paintwork? The paint on the roof and on the bonnet has spots that are "stumpf". And there is trapped dust in the paint around the rear-wings. But you cant see it on the pictures. That´s the reason why cars for sale on the internet always look that good before you go and view it by yourself. andrew e, rml2345 and Junkman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use this: I know it's very hard to get and costs a fortune including postage from the colonies, but I use it on every model I haveand that one bottle really is a lifetime supply. You can use it on the chrome and windows, too, it doesn't harm them at all. Maybe one of our transcontinental members could help obtaining it?

Pillock Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I had that Milk tanker.My mum had a carpet with rectangles on, it made great roads and walls for guiding the tanker around with the steery intake thing.

MarvinsMom Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 been doing another buyage this week, while at the digs and bored on an evening, this is another Husky, it an Bedford TK skip wagon, although i don't remember these when new, i'm well impressed with the ammount of"play value" included in what is a cheap an cheerful toy.this was expensive, been a whopping £1.65 (ex. the couple of quid for the postage...)and this too may also get a fresh coat of paint at some poit but for now, i'm going to enjoy it as is. plus i admit to been very fond of the TK. eddyramrod, junkyarddog, Junkman and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyramrod Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 I had that skip lorry from new. Still got it, but where the skip's disappeared to is anybody's guess.

Ghosty Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Found a 1/18 Solido Golf Mk1 GTI (naturally in red) knocking about in a box in my room. Nicely detailed, but the back wiper is bent at the end and there's a couple of small marks in the paint. Any use to anyone for a few quid? I don't really care for old Golfs. eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy18s Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 How many is a couple of quid? Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Split_Pin Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 I'd happily give you something for it but if it's just the wiper that's bent you could probably get at least £10 or £15 for it. These were the first models of the MK1 in that scale. I'd happily purchase it from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I'd be up for it. That got you, didn't it? Me, and a VW? It wouldn't be for me you see, it would be for my friend in Cyprus who has quite a collection of 60s/70s cars in 1/18. Largely due to me, in fact, bidding on his behalf on ebay while I was living over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
