I'm proud to show you our latest product, a 1/72 scale Catalan frontline bookmobile on Ford AA chassis. The Catalan Government pioneered during SCW the very first proper bookmobiles service in Spain, as a way to bring leisure and culture to the Republican soldiers. It consisted of a small fleet of adapted trucks/buses, whose task had to be visiting regularly field hospitals and rearguard encampments. One such bookmobiles was built on a Ford AA van chassis - and this is the one we've reproduced in this kit.

This mainly resin model kit is complimented by the white metal figure of a female driver/librarian, as well as a complete descals sheet allowing you to finish it up as either the mentioned bookmobile, a Spanish Republican ambulance and a fictional British bookmobile.

She doesn't look as if she would give you much leeway with overdue books........

Nice offbeat model.
