Looks like the correct header decal for a late production model. Let's see the rear decal please. Any chance of a close up on the small exle ends?

With what appears to be a white interior, isn't this the Benbros version? (A photograph of the front of the cab would settle it.)

The photographs were taken from an Ebay auction and, yes, although listed as a Lesney, the model is definitely the Benbros one. (It sold for just over £23 + p&p, so not too many people were fooled.)

Same here, just goes to show we don't REALLY look at our models as much as we think we do... :oops:

Or say: Damn, Hell, Facebook, etc. As well as post links to other sites, mention the Gathering, show photos of the Gathering and promote the Gathering. Here, you can even win a dinner or a dealer model from the 2015 Gathering! You can talk about other hobby web forums too. Your posts will not be censored, edited (unless you ask for such) or will you be banned for breaking one of the many rules that we DO NOT have. There is no army of moderators wandering around here playing Barney Fife.
