Thank you for a most comprehensive selection of photos!  The wider selection to which you supplied a link was almost as good as being there.

Where do you find kits of Holdens from then?

Some models I've seen before on that big file too.

DDA Collectibles (for the Sandman 'wagons) and/or The Parts Box.

It won its class (I should know, I judged it )

Thank you, sir!

"Almost" I didn't photograph everything (my personal biases showing), just "most".

Oh, the Parts Box of course! Fred put me onto them when I was doing my brother's Caterham Seven model, a wonderful place.

Thanks for sharing - looking forward to a more in-depth perusal later in the week!

May I please apologise to all Aussies & Kiwis for using the term 'wagon (station-wagon) when I meant panel-van!

I shall beat myself severely for this inappropriate exchange of terminology!        

Good stuff Womby.  Thanks for sharing.

Kit.  DDA make 1/24 injected styrene kits of a number of Holdens and Aussie Fords.  They are based on their die cast moulds and while not full detail kits are better than the previous options of resin kits (from both ThePartsBox and lesser producers) or nothing.  I have the Mad Max version of the Holden panel van in my stash but have yet to build it.
Their boxing seems to be extravagant and IMO they would be better off spending money on getting the cars to look right rather than on making the packaging swanky.
Having said that i'd like them to see them produce some Australian Valliants.

Veeeeery interesting Fred, thanks for that. 

Interesting viewing, thanks for sharing.

Some great photos there, thank you sir   

My pleasure, gentlemen!

Unfortunately I had family commitments that weekend and I am still not allowed to drive because of my eye.  Oh, well, there is always next year.
