Model of the Month (April 2012) Dapol / Airfix VENTILATED MEAT VAN

Dapol / Airfix VENTILATED MEAT VAN     This months model is a recently constructed Dapol kit of a BR ventilated meat van in use from the 1950's up to the 1970's although not used for its intended purpose towards the end of their careers on BR.   My model shows a meat van in early 1960's condition having been repainted from coaching stock maroon it to BR Bauxite and now in use for general merchandise.   Apart from the basic kit I have used some very nice buffers from Nairnshire modelling
