Could you imagine a Chelsea tractor having a slight bump with one of these... it would be carnage!

Yes, but would it be worse than a shunt with a lotus seven, or any other fibreglass kit car?
They apparently are still road legal, but withdrawing them, so cutting off supply from the NHS, was probably a way to push people into the better adapted motability scheme.
 
My brother's first job was allocating Invacars to disabled people in Cardiff. I think he was also responsible for removing them from people who misused them, for example by carrying passengers.

I thought oh,no, yet another Tiger, but then I realised it was in 1/48 - complete interior, as well!

Interesting, are the hull and turret top, shown on the top left, clear parts?
 
These were very popular with the Wehrmacht during the war........yes to many variants as well.....the van bodied ones were even used as ambulances. Mini Art could very likely have looked at all those possibilities for future releases.......very interesting little trucks. :thinking: Rick H.
Remember that video I sent you the link for Rick , saw one in that .

Yes I do JR, since Dave posted I went on a search and have spotted three other variants used by the Germans. These are available in 1-87 scale so will scour eBay and see if I can pick up a couple.

It'll be expensive - around the £110, mark if other Meng models are anything to go by.................

Interested to see how they mould the three coloured tank though? Probably one colour with a decal.
Probably using the same technology as is used for gundams: injecting different colours of plastic into a single mould.

And a more involved example:

I’m not sure they mould them all separately, blocking off parts of the mould where colours aren’t supposed to go and/or putting the parts from one mould into another, or if it all happens in one shot.
 
I’ve seen the multicoloured sprues before, but three colours in one part is going to be state of the art surely….
 
Maybe that the parts are painted at the factory, like the other bike they did a while ago?
(I'm making allowances for the 'lost in translation' habit)
Looks like a nice kit though.
