The Armoured Car (Sumida Tank) from The Blue Lotus. Only Tintin would think of stealing an armoured car. With Mr Wang’s help Tintin escapes prison then uses the armoured car to escape the city. The city has been put in lockdown once the Major, the General and Mister Mitsuhirato discover he has eluded them again. So, this little beauty has Mr Wang, Tintin and a tearful Snowy inside it, how wonderful.
Back in 2008 Moulinsart created a range of diecast 1/43 scale model cars, their collaborator was Editions Atlas. All seventy of the models came from the adventures of Tintin. Hergé’s evident love of cars, well actually all vehicles, real or imagined, came to life in this product range.
