73c

Post by kerbside »

Another model I found hard to find again I have looked at so many bases, to find the 1st base casting.

It may be common to others but not for me, another off the wants.

Congratulations George! I know how much delight you find in managing to find a new variation from your isolated corner of the Matchbox world. Does the top half look as good as the bottom?

Hello Greg, yes it is always a joy to find these little variations even if you have to turn the model upside down to view the base, must be "MAD" to look for these variations ;) ;) ;) Yes Greg the top half is just as mint as the bottom, :) :)

Hello Brad, no I do not have the 1st casting base on the 55d mercury, but it must be out there as it comes on all the 55d variations, another one to find :roll: :roll:

Well done! I must have looked at close to a 1000 without ever finding one yet in 15 years of looking!

Thank you numi for your post to Me and Dan.

Dan never mind two to find I would be quite happy to find one, I think that to get one with the RED dome light would be rather expensive.
