All
Thank you for your time in reading this. I am trying to identify the prototype for the Hornby 'Kitkat' van and similar models ('Prime Pork', for example). It seems the moldings are quite good (accurate?) so I hope to put a decent chassis on it and finish in an accurate livery - aha! But which one?
Many thanks,
Marcus
From memory, the model is a very good likeness of an H&B van, though without checking I'm unsure which one. Many years ago, I was approaced by an editor of a now defunt model magazine to provide an H&B van drawing, which I duly did. I was told it was requested by a manufacture, now obviously "Triang/Hornby". Put on a decent underframe it makes a good model. Attached, the only two H&B van pictures, I have to hand. Mick.
