Mercedes Ice Cream Van - Coronatos

Mercedes Ice Cream Van - Coronatos

Ice cream vans are known for being colourful in real life and to create detailed miniatures is always a tampo printing challenge.

In the highly decorative Coronato's Italian Ice Cream colour scheme, the tooling has been modified to include two ice cream cones, one on either side of the roof at the front.

You might wonder what the cartoon figure of Robin Hood in Sherwood Green is doing on the side shooting an ice cream cone from his bow until you read the Coronato slogan 'As famous in Nottingham as Robin Hood'.

You can also see that apart from specialising in 'Freshly Made Italian Style' Ice Cream, 'Mr Coronato' is also promoting another string to his bow 'All Events Catered For' complete with his mobile telephone number.

The rear of the model also features a finely printed scene with customers enjoying ice cream with a miniature ice cream van in the background.

This authentic ice cream van is registered KY58 JFA with a red/white body, black chassis and black interior seating.
