But alas, too fragile by half.
My mother employed a domestic worker on a daily basis who was a lovely person, but must have been a linebacker at some point. Her thorough dusting of objects in/near my room and shelves produced a great number of casualties, Beer Wagon being one of them.
To your point tho, there were a few modelers looking for a quick buck who shot, wroted and published CM / MCS stories showing how to polish the bodies and detail paint those kits - they sure did look great when complete.
I could not tell you what I had for lunch Friday or where my keys are right now, but I do recall a TD "T'rantula" dragster story in CM, also recalling a Red Baron at some point, too. Maybe added some ignition cable and fuel lines?
Now where is that Ritalin? Oh, look - a squirrel on the roof!
