Remember having this model many years ago and as usual great memories flood back when opening the box again. Nice one for the collection.
The model arrived quickly in secure protective packaging. It is convincing replica of the original 1960s Corgi Toy. The battery box takes a single AA battery and a simple switch lights up the central dome light and 4 corner lights which collect light by coloured plastic tubes……the equivalent of today’s optical fibre. The original toy had flashing lights and from my stash of 1960s bulbs I replaced the non flashing one in the model. These bulbs are old technology and nobody makes them in the 2020s. A keen modeller could easily hook up a clear flashing LED to achieve a 2025 flash effect. There is a video of my model with flashing lights on the Corgi Model Club Facebook group.
Very good I would recommend anyone to buy one.
Again a great model from CMC! A lot of details on it👍. Can't wait for the next model !
