Dom's verdict The Thames Valley colours look splendid

on this fine model. Colour separation is perfect and all lining

is precise and flawless. The glazing unit design means no

deep-set windows and allows the roof skylights to be more

than just silver paint, as in the past.

Dom's verdict GT Spirit's model of the GLC is an exercise

in precision that Mercedes itself would be delighted with.

The flawless paint covers a body with all the shut lines perfectly

placed and clear as day. The replica diamond cut wheels look

sharp enough to cut glass. And there's a super interior, too.

Dom's verdict This is a cracking little model anyway,

but it's especially great to see it in army green as this serves

a reminder that the military makes use of many off-the-peg

vehicles. The fully poseable digger and shovel will also allow

numerous scenarios on dioramas and model railway layouts.
