Wiking 082107
Type
Ford Capri 1970
Comments
Apparently painted model. Headlight blocks and rear lights are inserted. Windscreen flush. The black interior looks right. No mirror.
The axles have too much clearance; must be shortened. Tyres too wide: see dimension table. The wipers are body colour. The headlights don’t have a silver background, which makes them little visible.
Made in Germany.
Modifications
Wheel axles adjusted. Wipers painted silver.
