Maxichamps' 1:43 diecast Ford Capri II in Green Metallic puts the 1974 long-bonnet hatchback coupe on the shelf at around 10cm long. The body is a fixed one-piece casting, so the metallic flake, the fastback roofline and the stance do the work. A strong period colour for anyone building a run of 1970s Fords.

About the Ford Capri II Green Metallic Maxichamps 1:43

TL;DR: The Maxichamps Ford Capri II 1:43 is a Green Metallic diecast model of the 1974 hatchback coupe, built as a fixed one-piece body. Around 10cm long, it centres on metallic flake depth, a long bonnet and a fastback roofline, and sits as the second generation in a 1970s Ford shelf.

Green Metallic is the first thing to notice on this Capri II, and the finish is worth the attention. Maxichamps models the 1974 car, the generation that added a hatchback tailgate to Ford's long-bonnet coupe, in a colour that plays on light very differently from a solid shade. At 1:43 it makes a rich, period-flavoured addition to a shelf of 1970s Fords.

Metallic Green on a Long-Nosed Fastback

Flake and Depth on a Diecast Shell

Metallic paint carries tiny reflective flakes suspended in the colour, and at 1:43 the question is whether they read as fine sparkle or coarse glitter. A good model shows a subtle shimmer that shifts as the body tilts under a lamp, deepest along the bonnet and the rear flanks. The hard metal shell beneath gives a stable base for that finish, and the diecast weight, solid for a car around 10cm, backs up the quality impression. Check the finish for consistency from the nose to the tail, because metallic paint exposes any uneven coat at once.

Why a Fixed Body Suits the Long Bonnet

The Capri's proportions are all about the long bonnet, short tail and sloping rear window, and a one-piece casting keeps that profile unbroken. Nothing on this model opens, so there are no widened gaps along the bonnet or the tailgate, and the shut lines stay crisp. Look at the side profile for the angle of the rear window and the line of the roof, then check that the wheels sit properly in the arches with an even gap above the tyre.

Maxichamps Ford Capri II and the Hatchback Revision

From Capri I to Capri II

The first Capri arrived in 1969 as a coupe with a conventional boot, and the Capri II of 1974 gave the car a hatchback tailgate while keeping the long-bonnet look. It was built in both Britain and Germany. That change matters for modelling: the rear window and tailgate area is where the Capri II differs from its predecessor, so look at the shape of the glass and the rear panel when comparing the model with photographs of the real car.

A Period Colour Worth Matching

Metallic greens suited the earthy, saturated palette of the 1970s, and the shade here gives the car its own identity among the many yellow and orange cars of the decade. Beside a solid-colour Escort, it shows how metallic finishes changed the way a car looked under changing light. On a shelf of diecast pieces at the same scale and a similar finish quality, the effect is cohesive and unforced.

Choosing Between Capri Generations

The Capri II sits between the original and the later facelifted car, and collectors who want the hatchback shape without the later quad-headlamp nose will find this generation the cleaner choice. Alongside a Capri III, it makes a pair that shows how a single design was refined over a decade. The diecast body will take regular handling, and the fixed shell keeps the surface intact. British buyers who value completeness should keep the box with the model. For anyone planning to buy a Ford Capri II in 1:43, the Green Metallic finish gives this piece its own character on the shelf. Dust it with a soft brush, and keep it out of direct sun to protect the metallic finish.
