As some of you will remember, another 1:76 model of an LBSL IRU had been produced by Creative Master Northcord way back in 2008, so I took the opportunity to compare this to the new Tiny offering. The models are broadly comparable in detail, and well-matched for colours. Differences include 'clear' headlights on the Tiny model (silver paint on the CMNL), while the CMNL model has windscreen wipers which the Tiny one lacks. There are differences in the lettering but these are correct for the vehicles depicted. The most notable difference of course is that the CMNL model was based (incorrectly) on a long-wheelbase Mercedes Sprinter, while the Tiny model is to the correct length. I paid £15 for the Tiny model, which seems fair given that the CMNL model was around £8 when released. |
