This morning as I checked my M6A Pickfords, I have noticed one model, it has at first sight larger holes in the wheels (as by Lesney0905's 73a). As I have inspected it closer, I found that the end of the axles were partially drilled into the plastic wheels (while playing with it and not faked it!!!!). Therefore, once again, I call for careful judgements when we do not have enough informations.

I'm quite aware of the issues you pointed out. My concerns have nothing to do with those "normal" issues with the models.

Like I said, the model in question has multiple issues. Even if you discount these, you still have at least three issues to contend with.
It might be time to start my "Bucket List."

There are only three possible problems: wheels, axles, wheel supports.
1) The end of the axles are in the norm in its shape and form . Perhaps only by some Puritans it can wake up 10% to 20% of the doubts.
2) The surface of the axles is optically a little bit inhomogeneous. This may be due to, e.g. shinny reflection or an optical illusions or created by the rotation of the wheels relative to the axles.
3) The small flat areas on the axes need not to be from a file. Remember that the photos are done with digital cameras which have a finite number of pixels. If a photo is increasing, so from a certain point we do not increase the picture but the square pixels, which have an averaged colour, shade and brightness. Then they can appear like flat areas with different colour.
4) The holes in the wheels are a little bit bigger, but as we have seen, this may not be an evidence of fake
5) I do not see any detectable traces of drill on the wheels, please show me it.
6) I do not see any detectable traces of drill on the wheels support, please show me it.
I really feel that this is the witching process or mass hysteria, where the the logical arguments are not heard. There is absolutely no 100% evidence, only on the basis of perhaps 10% to 30% doubts is pronounced 100% verdict that the model is a fake.
Once more, I call for careful judgements, please we all watch the model and the photos carefully.
(I am not saying that the model is 100% genuine, for this I need more informations)

Thank Antonin for his logical evaluation, continuous saying: the head of the axes is too large to pass through the wheels, does not enter in all three wheels! I do not see signs of tampering on the wheels (enlarge the hole) or on axes

I know this is off topic but Antonin said about no macro
I don't know if this is true but I was told that you can use the lens from a laser pointer held over the phone camera lens to create a macro lens
like I said don't know how true this is probably just having my leg pulled

There is some truth in what "Fixer" says, but I would not use a Lazer lens, use a Lens from an older, maybe broken traditional film Camera, something you don't mind breaking open, this way you will have a few Lenses to experiment with.

All you do is fix the Lens over the lens on your phone or iphone lens with some 'Blu-Tak' or tape, without covering the optical lens itself and take some pictures and see what you get. Most of the time it works, but you may have to experiment with different Lenses and which way round it is placed.
