Very nice but, very big...! come on Pete, have you forgotten how to resize your pictures for the forum, tut, tut, tut.

This is what you do, print them out trim with scissors and post them to Nick in Clacton, he then scans them and posts them on the form, see its so simple !!

Hello Pete, just click on 'Edit' and you can delete the picture. I have saved it on my laptop and can re-post a smaller version back onto the forum.

Hi Ghosty thanks for doing that for me. I don't feel so bad now The model is one I never thought I would get, I think it must be in the top ten, also picked up no11 Petrol Tanker in a dark butterscotch colour, tried taking photos of it but they came out looking like gold colour Pete

That Butterscotch has proven to be quite hard to reproduce on electronic screens. What are you using for the pictures, Camera or smart phone?

A Camera will help you capture the colour better because that's what Cameras are designed to do, not text friends or make phone calls... :lol:

That's a good comparison picture 'J', the difference is clearly visible on my screen.
