That's bananas! 60’~70’s Saigon Fruit & Vegetable Market Stall from Gecko Models

To flesh out their Vietnam series, Gecko Models have added a new market stall from the 60's/70's full of fruit with a trader and bicycle. Uber eats it ain't but it looks pretty fulfilling to us. See more in our preview...

That's bananas! 60’~70’s Saigon Fruit & Vegetable Market Stall from Gecko Models

 60’~70’s Saigon Fruit & Vegetable Market Stall
From Gecko Models
1/35th scale
Kit No# 35GM0122
100% new tooling
This new tooled market stall from1960's/70s Vietnam could well be something that you may even fine nowadays. The set includes not only the market stall, but the stall owner and her bicycle with another wooden box full of fruit on it.
We have CADs of the kit showing a little of how it's fleshed out - showing you the structure, bicycle and fruit, but not the seller as of yet so the kit is still in development. What we can see are the sixteen (make that seventeen if you count the one on her bike) boxes of fruit with the stand structure, its tiled roof slanting down at a steep angle, with the wooden frame of the stand, filled with boxes inside it.

The Bicycle looks to be a nicely thin type with photo--etched spokes.
Two or more kits can be combined  to make a larger market stall section, a little problem being the women sellers might look strikingly familiar, but you guy will find a solution to that, I am sure.

We will let you know when we know more.
