这次介绍的又是一个二手散货拖头,狗仔的依维柯,属于Iveco Stralis (J S Cook & Sons)套装,狗仔编号CC15004,比例1/50。以下是对这家涂装公司的介绍,源于corgi官网,我就不翻译了,大家自己看。
Joe Cook worked for himself since he gained his LGV licence in the early 1970s, leaving the building trade in London. He gained valuable experience working for George Reed in Gloucestershire, before subbing continental work for Ralph Davies, covering the Spanish, Italian and Portugese runs with Scanias and Magnums.
As profits slowed on the continent, Joe decided to stay in the UK and pull containers out of the East Coast ports. He operated from his own large plot of land in Lincolnshire, where he also lived, basing his 24 strong fleet, including seven Iveco Stralis AS 480hp 44 tonne GVW units, pulling 6x2s.
Joe’s wife Tammy ran her own sand and gravel business from the same site using two additional small Iveco rigids.

J.S. Cook and Sons Transport AO57 FKM, a Iveco Stralis on Bolton Street in Bury. Monday 9th June 2008
我这里是褐色的那个,涂装图案也非常复杂、细节突出。总的来看,IVECO的车头线条比较圆润。
顶部,两个喇叭都在天窗左侧,扰流板上有运输公司名称,前方头灯简单的用镀铬金属加塑料表示,没有像一些精致的用玻璃钻。
前挡上方的雨遮有“Knock out!Joe”字样,两侧涂色表示小灯。雨刮独立。后视镜都有,此外corgi的后视镜出厂就安好了,还算比较牢,不容易掉。
正面,蓝色线条装饰,IVECO的车头没有明确的logo图案,用的IVECO字样作为logo。运输商的logo也印在上面。稍下是STRALIS,车头的具体型号。银色格栅下方还有一排四个前灯。有牌照号;但牌号“KO 56 JOE”似乎又和前面提到的“Knock out!Joe”遥相呼应;不知真车是否就是这个牌号?如果是,那么那句话是根据牌号而编的吗?呵呵。
侧面更能看出IVECO的圆润线条,尤其在额头部位。门有轮廓,不能开。而侧面的涂装更加细节化。
左侧,和右侧差不多涂装,就是油箱、工具箱部位有差异,这里还有个上甲板的梯子。
不过画中的拖头很像美式头。银色镀铬排气管在左后侧,三根彩色控制连接线缆在下方。
底盘,其实还是挺精致的!当然,前轴不可转向。从细节看,第三轴是驱动轴。各轴轮胎的胎纹没有做区分。
把它和之前介绍的[TEKNO] SCANIA VSB: Scania R Highline truck放在一起:
狗仔的东西其实我个人还是比较推荐的,因为用料厚重,结实耐玩,涂装漂亮远好于SIKU,价格也较平易近人。
