Milk Float Phoenix Model Developments, ByGone Age series (1 Viewer)

[whdamon]

Some photos of the Phoenix Milk Float, 1/24th scale, metal from the early 1970's Sat in my gray army for well over 45 years until I realized it would fit quite well in my Dickens Xmas display. the casting was quite detailed and perfect fit considering its early origins

The directions:


unfortunately I did not take any in process assy photos. here is the assembled piece prior to primer & paint (yes i painted it after full assembly glutton for punishment that I am)
and after paint


Next was to see how it looked with some K&C figures. Scale different, but in a display did
not seem to have a negative impact on the combination unless viewer knew for sure the cart was much larger in reality

continued on next post ( 5 photo limit breached)

Well done, Walt! Such a great little kit, and it works so well with the K&C figures.
And I didn't know there were coffee vendors in Britain back then. I knew there were vendors of other products, just not that anyone sold coffee that way. Very cool!

Prost!
