MAISTO 1/18 RANGE ROVER SPORT DIECAST MODEL

Range Rover Sport Diecast Model 1/18 Red Die Cast Car by Maisto

The Range Rover Sport is a handsome rather sleek machine that is noticeably smaller than both the lastest Range Rover and the new Discovery 3, which provides the Sports basic platform. If you cannot afford the Range Rover Sports hefty price tag, then how about this scaled down diecast version from Maisto in 1:18 scale. The model colour is red, and very nice it is too! The model captured all the lines of the real thing, and has probably represented the front end with its unique headlamp arrangement. This is an exceptional model from Maisto as it captured the brutish yet sleek lines of the car.

VANGUARDS 1/43 FORD CORTINA MK3 2000GT-THAMES VALLEY POLICE


Thames Valley Police used Mk3 Cortinas as emergency response vehicles mainly in urban areas and the car modelled is one of that fleet. It was ideally suited to this work being both spacious and by the standards of the time rapid. In this era very little thought was given to resale values when specifying cars so all Police Cortinas had the low-back L type seats and steel wheels with hubcaps rather than the high-back head restraint seats and styled sports wheels that were fitted to the civilian 2 litre GXL. They were however fitted with extra fog lights below the bumper and the then new 'Pinto' OHC engine.
