Ford Transit Van - Mk2 - OO Scale


Recommended Posts

I recently saw a lovely Mk2 Ford Transit model in 1:24 scale by Italeri in a British Gas livery.

 

That made me think I'd like a nice Mk2 van (possibly white) for my OO layout.

 

I'm no expert in road vehicle modelling but I'm astonished to see nothing coming up on a google search of the usual sites.

 

No one seems to make them?? Am I missing something? Is there a rights problem?

 

 

 

[Edit to include scale]

Presume you mean in 00/4mm?

 

Back in the early 1990s, the Model Bus Company made a modular kit that could be a normal van, semi high roof mid wheelbase and short wheelbase pickup. I have the latter two - this is the best pic I could find of the van. On a bridge of course.......

Mick, I think your model is the mk3 transit, rather than the mk2 version. It looks like oxford do a 4mm model ofthe mk3 these days.

Bachmann used to sell a conflat with a Mk2 SWB minibus on it, think it was by Wiking but to 3.5mm (HO) scale

There was an article on mark 2 Ford transits in rail express a few years ago. Can't remember the issue number I'm afraid.

It was by Jim Smith-Wright as I recall, there is some info on his P4 new street website.
