CORGI 1/50 AEC TANKER 'MAJOR'


The model for 1995 was the AEC cab with an elliptical tanker in the livery of Major, who were suppliers of gasolines and oils in the North East and Midlands. The livery, in a combination of blue, orange, white and brown, is certainly colourful, and makes for a pleasing model, helped by the fact that the tanker itself is painted and thus is not obviously made of plastic.

NOREV 1/43 RENAULT MASCOTT VAN
