Re: Touching Up Dinky Toys.
All good except why is it in the "Open letters to Non-Posters?" There seems to be other dinky stuff here too?

Re: Code 2s and MOY" First Series repainted in gold.
A few points spring to mind.What/who is CCI? That's the brief version? I have my own views on certain distasteful aspects around the production and distribution of these models but I don't think I'd air them here.More importantly, this post is Charlie trying to showcase models he loves and has take...

Re: Code 2s and MOY" First Series repainted in gold.
The models were done tongue in cheek as an answer to all those ludicrous plated models shown in the later MICA mags in shades of anodised purple, green and red etc. Not sure who posted them either Kevin or Stewart but there was an argument between them that those models would never have been made b...

Code 2s and MOY" First Series repainted in gold.
Addition by Site Admin: This thread has a somewhat abrupt start because it originally followed on from the first post here .
