Basically the GPV is a very old model going back to early days of Dapol N, on the plus side given it's age and simple design and it does mean the RRP is very low by today's standards which will suit the price conscious I guess and as far as I know it is the only model ever produced RTR in N (NGS may do a kit).

One question/reflection - does anyone know what "Profiles wheels" might be intended to mean?    My guess it might be intending to refer to the relevant wheel profile used, but it might be better to say nothing than something meaningless. I suspect a case of the ad not being properly vetted before going out  .

The NGS do indeed do a kit for the Iron Mink/Gunpowder van. It's number 13. A transfer sheet is also available. Both kit and transfers very reasonably priced.
