Bedford VAL14 / Duple Viceroy 37 coach; white metal kit in 1:76 scale by Awbry Models
Long out of production, I managed to pick up this part-assembled one recently. The body shell has suffered some stress and is bent in practically every dimension, but white metal is a soft and yielding material so a little persuasion should get it all straight again. The same goes for the floor, seats and wheels/axles, which also require tweaking to line up properly. That said, it is a model which captures the essential lines of the Viceroy coach and will in due course get the makeover it deserves.
