Hi,
very nice all together - I like the silver one with the red interior most.
I guess you made them all yesterday :-)

Thank you Stephan.
This is the fruit of several individual restorations over a period of time.
But If wished I can strip the paint off this very evening and repaint them all; and be ready tomorrow.
But then again you won't see the difference, so I leave them as they are............. :roll:

They are good but difficult for me to choose a favourite this time. The Silver model does stand out and I think it could be the Red interior that does it, very nice.

I don't think I have asked this question before Gerrit, but how do you secure the baseplates on your models, glue or screw. Presumably screw if you say you could strip them and repaint them in such a short period of time.

Thanks for your appraisal Kevin.
As far as I remember I have only used screws once (on a Dinky). In other words it is glue all the way.

I only wish to find this 32B with grey tires someday. No success on the NAMAC meets.
One of my wishes for next year.

I would rather use screw fixing for my rebuilds or any secret clip fixing of the original model design itself. Having said, that I can not remember how the model in the picture below is secured, I don't have it with me to check, but I think it is by screw.
