The Commer Commando is already part of the 1:76 scale
series and our newly tooled 1:148 version is an exact replica of the RAF
liveried model with which we launched the 1:76 scale series, down to
the last detail. It is decorated in the RAF blue-grey colour scheme with
black wings and wheel arches, the vehicle is registered XAT 368 and
features the RAF roundel on each side. The interior panels are bright
blue with a pale grey floor. Externally, lots of chrome highlights the
door handles, window surrounds, grilles, footsteps, radiator, bonnet
trim and bumpers.
Our Commer Commando is modelled on a vehicle housed and on public
display at the Yorkshire Air Museum at Elvington and the crew bus is
thought to be one of only five to survive into preservation. The Museum
is well worth a visit if you are in East Yorkshire this summer.
