1 forum posts	Can anybody suggest where I can get a diecast or white metal model made in 4mm (00) scale please. I'm trying to get a 1953 HCB Commer K1 fire engine made but having a real difficult time searching. Paul C.

It's around 4" long, and rather pricy, 3 or 4 hundred pounds. Made for a wealthy farmer who had owned a full size one until about 40 years ago. His son now owns the farm, and I think there is still some coal in one of the sheds. Ian S C

Otherwise, the best route would be to get one drawn up and 3D printed and use it as a pattern for a silicone mould OR even get a bureau to print you one in sintered metal. Neil
