This is one of several examples of Model Railway stuff I have from behind the Iron Curtain,
Vero seem to have been an East German concern, and while I first thought it would be a copy of
Wiad or
Faller or somebody like them, it seemed to be a quite unique design when I got it home.
Dual language instructions in German and Russian were the pointers to it being from the 'wrong' side of the wire.
Internal blackout sheet for electric lighting, this follows the practice of
Kibri, Faller and co. in the West, although without all the curtains, screens and blinds that come on a separate sheet, for daytime displays.
Majority of parts laid out, the three little paper bags contain two types of scatter material and all the small parts. The green 'propeller shaft' bottom left, is the sprue.
Loosely assembled, in total contrast to most of the western manufacturers; there are no locating channels, stud-and-holes or anything, so the modeller would have to assemble the whole building 'by eye'. However there is the same attempt at a self-coloured kit we had over here -
Airfix being the notable exception!
