Not that I need much of an excuse to take snaps of any of the old Product Enterprise line, as they are all great models.
As most collectors will know the first releases of the P.E. Mobiles suffered from some disappointing weathering which spoilt the look of these otherwise excellent models. A new batch was later released with a more attractive look. Unfortunately,shortly after Product Enterprise ceased trading under that banner.
P.E. released three versions, SHADO 1, which has a flip up rocket launcher, a (hand) rotating cannon, and an additional aerial.
SHADO 2, which has no additional extras.
SHADO CONTROL which has the (hand) rotating radar on top.
Man all Mobiles...
These are absolutely beautiful models Scoop. I managed to get a very old and battered Dinky Mobile and renovated it to the original screen colours. Curiously the nearest shade I could find in the Halfords spray paint range was one of the British Layland metallic's.
ReplyDeleteDo you know what the proper colour match is Scoop?
I don't what colour was used on the original models,Bill. Modeller David Sisson used Peug/Talbot Cascade over silver to tone it down on his scratchbuilt version.
DeleteI'd heard that Ford Arctic Blue was the closest but isn't now available. I used Peugeot Moonstone for my scratchbuild and it seemed good enough when weathered.
