Ford Surtees Transporter 1976 by Jade Miniatures
Kit available JADC4308
When looking at this Team Surtees truck in kit form we commented on the tricky masking job that would be required as only the gold stripes were included on the decals. It’s certainly been well-executed on this hand built and the combination of a rich purple for the main colour and those gold stripes outlining the white arrow motifs certainly makes for a very smart looking machine. Surtees used this vehicle for many years with numerous repaints and the only images we have of it in this livery are black and white. They were taken by Jean Damon of Jade himself back in the 70s and when we queried the colours, expecting maybe a dark blue as a base like many of the race cars, he assures us they are correct.

About Jade Miniatures
A well established range of well thought out kits and hand built models of competition cars, mostly from the golden era of the 1950s and 60s. The kits are generally pretty simple with well cast resin bodies, small numbers of resin and white metal ancillaries and a modest amount of etch. In the case of open wheeled subjects, the etch usually includes most or all of the suspension. Hand builts generally well finished. Made in France.
