 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.
