Something For Free grounded Van body

Hi all as the title says this was something free.
Whilst in the local Newsagents I thought it’s been a long while since I got a Railway mag so took a look and this took my eye it’s the Dec 2018 Railway Modeller and came with a free Ratio Grounded van body kit and at $9.99 i thought it’s worth getting for a little modelling project. Yes I know it’s January 2019 but in the Big Land Down Under we are often months behind with the Mags so this is nice and current for us.


So what was attached in the pack on the front Well what it said a van body kit and it’s looks like it a first quality casting not a seconds that they have decide to dump as a freebie.


Now it’s the basic body just without the floor/ underframe and W irons all very basic but as can be seen in the image on the package will make a nice Van body for detailing in a yard.
Close up of the kit parts well worth getting as a bonus with the Mag

 

Sorry Matt it’s only just appeared down under,
Got to say it’s Good value even if you don’t want the mag as I’ve seen the original Ratio Grounded van kit in the hobby shops for $14.95 - $18.95au depending on the shop. Basically the same as a rolling Ratio kit.
And I think this is for a later style of Van than the original kit, very much suitable for what I’m thinking of using as, a Grounded van in a NCB diorama for my NCB locos.
