The 1/35 model of the Beaverette Mk II comes from IMA (International Model Asia) that can be found on their website:

This is a nice little model which comes in a well protected rigid box, the assembly should be quick due to the few parts, they are very well cast without bubbles.
The assembly comes without any problems, only the final adjustment will require a small correction (see the space between the hood and fenders), which is left unchanged for painting. Changes are indicated in red.
The figurines associated with this model come from SKP:

The quality of the figurines is correct for Samantha but Sergeant’s mold must acknowledge the weight of years because there is a lot of flaws to pick up, I shall change the head for a hornet one. The price of the figurines is very reasonable.
Painting the car was made in a conventional manner with the lacquer technique to bring out the wood grain inside. The green base coat and then the work with oil paints, typically small nuts of different shades blended altogether.
Then the final presentation with the two figurines, the ground is made with a layer of white glue on which are deposited various pigments and fine sand.
