BUILDING A MODEL FUTURE!

Customised promotional model vehicle specialists Search Impex have recently completed an order for the South East region of leading UK Builders’ Merchant Travis Perkins.

The model, a 1:25 scale Scania R500 (6×2) dropside rigid truck with crane and customised in Travis Perkins’ latest livery, has been produced exclusively for Search Impex by Finnish manufacturers Emek, known for producing larger scale models for younger enthusiasts. It is the first Scania rigid to be produced in the new Travis Perkins livery. The model benefits from a multitude of ‘play’ features including a working crane, opening dropsides and pull down hydraulic ram stabilisers at the rear of the truck. It comes complete with 4 pallets and a pallet fork attachment for the crane.
