|  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 trailer has a simple chassis with nice wheels and the support legs have plastic cams. At the rear the lights are nicely painted and there are thin plastic mud flaps on the rear axle.
The refrigeration unit at the front is plastic and has simple details. At the rear the door detailing is very good.
Features
The trailer can stand on its support legs with the cam feet rotated down.
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 rear lights would need a skilled hand to look good.
Quality
It is a robust model with a high metal content.
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 and in this regard it is an easier trailer than the white Curtainside model.
Footnotes
The model first appeared in the Corgi January-June 2013 catalogue.
