Zinc fatigue issues



Several model issues from the early 2000's are known to suffer from Zinc fatigue. This is due to impurities in the alloy castings of the model. There is no known way to fix it, and given time, will ultimately destroy the model.

Models known to suffer from Zinc fatigue are:


 * FC1003 Ford Consul - Le Mans Green
 * VA06613 Ford Transit - One Millionth Transit
 * VA05200 Ford Granada MkI - Venetian Red
 * VA06002 Ford Zephyr 4 MkIII - Monaco Red
