20b ERF Ever Ready Decal question.

Hello all,

Can someone spot a problem with this decal? If so, could this possibly happen without human intervention?

Thanks,
Michael E

Hi Mike.
I think the model has had some light damage in the past and someone has attempted to touch the chips in with a paintbrush, The paint that was used is a very good match for the original that Lesney used so it can't be seen except where they went over the decal, I would leave it as it is because anything that will remove the paint will also remove the decal. It is still a very desirable model.

Nick, thank you for responding.

I will put this one in the "Do Not Sell" area on my display. It will go next to my excellent 35a Horse Box with red tail lights.
I'm selling my collection on ebay and will not sell a known "touch-up" model. One reason for that is at some point someone will sell it as "Mint" "All Original" and another buyer will be hoodwinked as I was.

Kind regards,
Michael E

I agree on all points of Nick's comments: Touch-in, don't attempt to remove and still a nice model.
