Fun Ho !

MDC-R    Streamlux

- The Underwood Engineering Co. Ltd., New Zealand.

Apart from manufacturing models in 1/43, Underwood Engineering released a series of diecast models in approx. 1/80 under the Fun Ho! name.  The first nine models of the series were made from moulds that were bought from Streamlux, an Australian company that stopped production in 1962. These early Fun Ho ! models still carried the 'Streamlux' name and 'Aust.' or 'Australia' on them, the markings were subsequently removed.
