Stobart goes big with Hachette

Just started is a rather fabulous, huge 1/12 scale Eddie Stobart tractor unit and curtainside trailer part-build series. Depicting the well-known DAF F2200 named Twiggy, the first Stobart truck to carry a female name, the model is packed with detail. Featuring a tilting cab that reveals a highly-detailed engine, realistic wheel movement, trailer stands that can be cranked up and down, opening doors on both the cab and to the rear of the trailer, and working lights front and rear with working, flashing indicators.

The first issue is shown here and provides enough parts to make up the bonnet, complete with badges, grille detail and sidelights. Entitled Eddie Stobart: Building the Nation, check out your local newsagents or visit www.buildeddiestobart.com to find out more.
