1:43 Model Commercial Vans - do they all exist?

[Barwy]

Hello friendly people,

I've been getting into recreating popular vehicle liveries on 1:43 scale models of vans, think Scottish and Southern, Autoglass etc. I'm really struggling to find well priced models to buy! The last one I went for was a bright orange Fiat Fiorino which was okay but the orange showed up at the corners and didn't look very good once the graphics were applied.

I was wondering if anybody could recommend some good catalogues/websites/shops to buy the desired vehicles? I've added a little list below:

Ford Transit Custom 2013-onwards
Mercedes Sprinter/VW Crafter 2014-onwards
Fiat Doblo 2010-onwards

As far as I can tell, nobody on the planet has made a Transit Custom scale model yet the less popular Transit Connect is in production? I'm new to this world so forgive me if I'm talking rubbish..!

I've been in the same boat with this since I need some 1980's vans/trucks in 7mm O gauge (1:43) for Heaton Lodge - see other thread.
All I can find after much searching is those from Oxford diecast and Corgi.

Hi chaps, not done much modelling for a few years but I do have a browse on here.

I came across this while I was looking for a Transit (a real one to turn into a camper! ), nice lot of 80's cars too, thought it might help
