 Comment on this model.
This model is from the Corgi
Hauliers of Renown
'Modeller' series. It is in plain white and is intended
for collectors who want to create their own livery.
Packaging
The model comes in a simple box style. Inside, the model is
contained within
clear plastic trays.
There were no missing parts or defects on the review
model.
Detail
The curtainside trailer chassis detail is simple with
the usual dimpled finish and the wheels have decent fat
tyres.
The twin landing legs have plastic cam feet.
The curtainsides are plastic but with realistic moulding
detail and very good graphics with the tie-downs looking
particularly good.
At the rear the doors have the hinges and bolts detailed
within the casting.
Features
The trailer can stand on its support legs with the cam
feet rotated down and it is reasonably level.
The model is intended to be repainted by the collector.
This should be straightforward although for top quality
work skilled modellers might prefer to disassemble the
trailer. This was not attempted for the review.
Painting around some of the prepared details such as the
tie-downs and rear door hinges and bolts would need a
skilled hand to look good.
Quality
It is a
robust model with the curtainsides being plastic.
The paintwork is fine.
Price
The model is reasonable value.
Overall
This is a basic model which is probably too plain to be
an attractive collectible. However it provides a good
base for modellers wanting to apply their artistic
talents.
Footnotes
The model first appeared in the Corgi January-June
2013 catalogue.
