John Day Models
Information & pictures: Maz Woolley/Crispin Day

MDC-K

John Day's Vehicle Scenics range consists of 1/76 white metal kits which were available by mail order from John Day or via an agent (Woodpecker) in Australia. He has also advertised the ability to supply made up kits from time to time. John Day's involvement in modelling was long running since he was one of the pioneers of artisan produced 1/43 white metal racing and sports car kits in the 1970s. He re-appeared on the scene later on and focused on vehicles to accompany popular railway modelling eras in the UK. After John Day passed away in the Summer of 2006 the models seemed to have disappeared from the market. Fortunately, in February 2007 John's son Crispin e-mailed us and told us that the models will be back on the market soon, he is currently restocking and plans to release a number of new models in Spring 2007. 

The kits can be ordered directly from the manufacturer at the following adress:

The Vehicle Scenics models are generally of simple construction although some of the larger commercials are slightly more complex. They are circa 1/76th scale and cast in white metal. The cars generally in the following format: one-piece body shell; chassis with seats and wheels and sometimes figures cast in (note: generally no dashboard or steering wheel); and a vacform for the windows. The range covers a wide period of British Motoring history.
