Hello again,
somewhere on this magnificent forum I have read that the red & white Commer pick-uponly came with SPW,... that probably means that the one I bought a little while ago is a fake (or a repaint).
Could you guys give me some tips on how to recognise a repaint or fake model so I can prevent myself frombuying these models.
Thanks in advance!!
Greetings,
L-esney.

Re: Is this a repaint?
paint looks very thick as if it has been overpainted with a brush with hobby enamel. Just handle lots of genuine original models to familiarise yourself with the thickness and shine of Lesney factory colours + rivits
Re: Is this a repaint?
Difficult to say, but the grille trim looks very heavy and the change from the white to the red looks too sharp.
Re: Is this a repaint?
Another "faking" method seems to be to replace axles and wheels. Then original paint and still riveted base. Am I wrong ?
