STARLINE

Alfa Romeo 2000 Berlina
PRICE £18.99 LIMIT

This swanky Alfa would have been every middle-class driver’s aspiration back in its 1957 release year. Bedecked in fetching blue, with satin silver trim, it’s a good addition to Starline’s range, and also comes in pale grey, red and yellow.

A true American motoring legend, the 1963 ‘vette is ably reproduced here, in classic black bodywork with red interior. The Corvette badge and ‘fuel-injection’ are finely printed, and the wheels and photo-etched metal air inlet covers are superb.


CLASSIC CONSTRUCTION MODELS

Caterpillar 666 Scraper
PRICE £265-295
SCALE 1/48

The long awaited Caterpillar 666 scraper has finally arrived with model dealers. After months of waiting, the results are superb with Classic Construction Models producing another hit.

The 1/48 scale model is finely detailed throughout and captures the rugged looks of a by-gone era. The operator’s station has all the controls accurately replicated including a moving steering wheel linked to the front wheels. The bowl can be raised and lowered with a functioning ejector plate and accurately detailed diesel engines fitted both front and rear.

This is another great addition to the growing historic range from CCM and is available in two different versions which are selling fast.
