Good point Joe.

If any forum member here wants to buy the model, I am happy to let my manservant, "Maramaduke" have an afternoon off, once a fortnight to come round to your house and do the Honnors as mentioned by "Tinman" in the previous post, just give him a cup of tea and a biscuit and he'll be happy with that.

One cannot do much with all the monies in this world but can do much more if he strives toward contentment.

I think that has been detailed by a previous owner. It should have knobbly 11x24 wheels and these look like 45 treads. Also the trim looks as if it was brushed on.

Yes, that trim is pretty funky looking. It does lean hard towards owner detailing.
It might be time to start my "Bucket List."

Now that you've pointed it out I have to agree that it might be super-detailing. (On the other hand, there does not appear to be any other detailing.)

That would imply first-run bodies kep in storage only to be wheeled consoderably later. What wheels do they have?
