D. R. Collin & Son Ltd

Delivering the Taste of Scotland

Following the success of the company’s earlier Scania release, we were delighted to introduce a new addition to the D. R. Collin & Son model range: a 1:50 scale Volvo FH500 Globetrotter XL (6×2) tractor unit paired with a 3-axle refrigerated trailer, finished in the distinctive International Group livery.

Produced exclusively for Search Impex by WSI Models as a certificated limited edition, this latest commission celebrates one of Scotland’s leading seafood specialists and its commitment to delivering premium produce throughout the UK and Europe.

Every detail has been carefully reproduced to reflect the appearance of the real-life vehicle, from the striking livery through to the refrigerated trailer that plays such an important role in the company’s distribution operation.

Founded in 1952 and based in Eyemouth on Scotland’s southeast coast, D. R. Collin & Son has grown into a highly respected seafood business supplying fresh and cooked fish and shellfish to customers across the UK and overseas. With dedicated processing facilities, retail outlets and an extensive distribution network, the company oversees every stage of the journey from sourcing and preparation through to final delivery.

Supporting this operation is a modern fleet of refrigerated vehicles, enabling D. R. Collin to maintain the highest standards of freshness and product quality while serving customers throughout the UK and mainland Europe. The introduction of Volvo tractor units to the fleet has further strengthened the company’s ability to deliver efficiently across international markets.

As a unique collector’s piece, this model recognises more than seventy years of expertise and celebrates a business that continues to showcase the very best of Scottish seafood on a global stage.
