Please use a web hosting site (like photobucket) to store pictures so you can post them here, using attachments makes it hard to view the pictures when you have to scroll to see them. Seeing comparisons of models is hard to see with attachments too.

I consider these amber window Gruesome Twosome to be very very rare, it would be interesting to know how many members have an example?
