Duple Britannia in 1/76 scale announced
Leading the latest batch of releases from Oxford Diecast is the newly-tooled Duple Britannia in 1/76 scale. The model makes its first appearance in the range in the well-known cream livery of Wallace Arnold, whose coach tours were particularly successful in the era before package holidays became affordable to the nation. The model features orange masked roof skylights.
The flat-fronted coach has the two-windowed passenger door on the nearside, with the driver’s door placed higher on the offside. The interior features a beige floor and red seating. Registered 4324 UA, the coach has a wealth of external silver sprayed detail, including bumpers and window surrounds. The destination plate above the chrome radiator grille shows the coach on its way to Blackpool. To the rear, the Wallace Arnold name and key towns and cities are printed in red, while on the coach sides, the WA crest with the words “Industriae Nil Impossible” is printed in gold.
