Eligor light commercials collection 1950-1960

Modelzone have started stocking this French collection of 1/43 diecasts at £4.99 each. Today I picked up a Citroen ID 'break' in Petrole Hahn livery, a Renault Estafette van in Butagaz livery, plus a Peugeot J7 van in Kodak livery. The J7 and Estafette both have opening side doors and rear doors. Not bad models for the dosh. Photos to follow later.

A couple of photos of the ID & Estafette...Not bad for a Fiver a pop.

Here are a couple of shots of the Pug J7, which show the opening features. The side door is a bit crude, with holes in the bodywork where it slides...

They look really nice.

I haven't even seen these on e-bay yet. Detail isn't quite as good as the Altaya models to be honest, but for a fiver for a nice looking 1/43 scale model, well it isnt exactly expensive. There are some Peugeot 403 pickups in the range, but I don't like the look of them to be honest. The tow truck version has a huge screw visible holding the jib on.

Still, for a fiver...

Aye for a fiver really you can't complain. Modelzone at Norwich, which is HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE by the way, and must be one of their biggest branches had just litteraly got them in, and the woman on the till was putting barcodes on them. I had a couple of Michelin vans in my hand & saw that stack on the counter, and had a rummage...In all in Norwich I spent less than £30 and came away with 7 models.

Nice when you can have a rummage ! Sorry for the lack of posts, a few things have been happing over the last few months which took my attention. Must post some more models.

No worries mate. I havent been posting much either thanks to a new job & silly shifts. It does mean more money for models though, and I've already decided my next purchase, the 1/43 scale Thames 400E from Oxford Diecast

Is it out ? I fancy one of those, in the right livery.

It's released this month in blood & custard British Railways livery..YUM!

Nice, I'll have to put an order in for one of those. They had the Ford Consul engine and, apparently, went very well. Unfortunately, they were prone to roll over....

They are doing a green mini bus as well http://www.anticsonline.co.uk/1754_1_106076018.html

Have a butchers in the michelin Collection thread to see my other goodies.

Super looking models, I will have to find my nearest Modelzone! I'm out in the stix!!
