As most toy collectors know replacing missing parts is tricky.
Sometimes that missing bit just isn't common.
Case in point is the Land Rover that came with the JR21 Thunderbird 2.
Here are Scoop's beautiful examples from 2014 on Moonbase.
I've a red one [without the windscreen] but it was pure luck I found it in the attic.
So is there a decent replacement?
Browsing the net I found a few possibles depending on how exact it should be:
Fairylite yellow
Hong Kong red with trailer
Army cheapo jeep
Airfix red jeep
You any ideas?
The Airfix Red Jeep is actually a Land Rover, not a Jeep.
ReplyDeleteI had that Fairylite construction vehicle set, or something very similar, but in different colours. I will see if I can dig out the models at the weekend and photograph them.
It is hard to suggest a possible replacement for the JR21 Land Rover - how big was the model ? It looks like a plastic copy of the diecast second issue Matchbox Land Rover, but I do not know if they are the same size.
Of course it is! Doh! See, its easy to confuse Jeeps and Landrovers Pau! If you do find that Fairylite set it would be great to see the vehicles and the Jeep/ Landrover. I agree, I bet the matchbox landrover is the same size as the JR21 plastic version.
