Yes there is rod, a 1/32ish scale resin effort, last time i found the site they only had ready built ones for sale for loads of money and they weren't great. Best bet for a 123 coupe is a 1/43 minichamps. Modded one of mine, still work to do.  |

I got this for Xmas a couple of years back (my girlfriends brother bought it from a bric-a-brac shop), need to find the time and energy to make it.........   It's complete even though the previous owner had taken most of the part off the frame. .....satin black and some decent wheels robbed from another model |

Hi Dez, Its a Samuelson film Commer by Corgi the roof rack was damaged, just painted it may style. Have restored dozens of models to my taste, usually cost less than £10..... Did you notice the Thames with the pop up roof, home restored as well.    |

I have quite a few that I've built, but have never displayed them at a show before, so not sure of how it all works I'd be happy to bring a few of mine too When I've displayed in the past its usually involved turning up and sticking your models on a table in a tent or something then remembering to go and get them afterwards! Obviously you need people supervising at all times. Keefy, do you know the name Jon Rackham? Would be a good chap to get on board |
