Dinky 33w / 415 Mechanical Horse & Open Wagon

 

As Bought:

This was quite a mess when I got it.
There was very little paint, the rear tyres of the
cab unit were missing and the front window strut was missing.

The Restoration:

The model was stripped into components and the paint stripped.
A new strut was made from a piece of galvanised steel wire that was flattened by hammering. It was then cut to length and glued into place with superglue.
When completely dry the joints were filed smooth and all parts given a coat of primer.
The model was then painted, re-assembled and detail painted in.

Finished:

 

Model #2 (trailer only)

Model #3 (cab only)

Both cab and trailer have been restored into the blue and yellow livery. Paired together they make a full set.
