Very nice looking van, and beautifully finished. I like the colour, too.

Yes. The late Felton Fowler (Mr Swanswood) lived locally to me and was a one time member of my local 16mm group (2 Moors Group). In my early days of 16mm modelling, I bought a number of his kits. I found that they went together well and the instructions were exemplary. So they should be as I understand that Felton had been a teacher.

Thanks Rik. I cannot remember what the colour was, but I would have been from the Humbrol range. I did not keep a note of it and it was built over 10 years ago.

That's a nice looking van, can't help but admire the door hinges and other iron work.

I agree, that the doors are brilliant and the ironwork is great.
