Our 1:76 scale Mercedes Sprinter represents the second generation of the popular commercial van which was an upgrade from the original in 2006. First launched in 1995, the Sprinter went on to be voted Van of the Year in 2007. Its versatility makes it a favourite with operators right up to the present.
Here we see it as operated by Parcelforce registered 0E10 FHB from 2010. The familiar and very modern bright red Parcelforce body colour is in contrast to the white graphics and the bold green and black ‘poster’ printed on the van sides promoting the company’s commitment to a more environmentally friendly world and also their Eco-start delivery. The external trim is finished in black and silver and the interior is also black.
