Touring Tuesday: Ford Falcon GTHO Phase III with a Viscount Caravan

This is another from the Aussie Road Ragers line that I picked up on the recent trip to heaven. The Viscount won me over, it’s such an accurate model of a van that is still a common sight around the country. The Falcon GTHO Phase III is a special car in Australian motoring history and was for a time reported to be the fastest four door production car in Australia.

Highly detailed for a 1:64 scale model, prices reflect this fact but no regrets in buying these.

The worst angle of this car is the front unfortunately. Although to be fair it seems to look better in real life than this picture shows, at least to my old eyes anyway.

The Super Roo logo is one I remember seeing as a kid and I loved it. It was just a small sticker on the 1:1 car and obviously is very small on the model although it is there! Very happy the designer thought to include it on the van in a larger size.
