SPECTRUM M.S.V. *MAXIMUM SECURITY VEHICLE)

From Gerry Anderson’s ‘Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons’

THE Maximum Security Vehicle was seldom featured in any storylines. It was nonetheless another terrific design by MIKE TRIM, who shared design responsibilities with Visual Effects Supervisor DEREK MEDDINGS. A tough looking ’armoured car’ used for transporting VIPs under armed guard.

1/32nd was AIRFIX’s scale of choice for cars and similarly sized vehicles. (most other Model Kit manufacturers favour 1/24th or 1/25th. and Armoured vehicles generally come in 1/35th. So 1/32 is an oddity. but Scalextric slot cars ae 1.32nd. Now a ‘Captan Scarlet’ Scalextric set - that would be something!

I think the silvery grey plastic would be a good choice for this vehicle.. Or white (like the DINKY toy).
