A few prepros and trials from the cabinet, including the new addition of the all silver example. (Thanks Bob N).

They look so good together Bob. The new all Silver example I have not seen before, is it 'Time-Line' linked to the other Silver examples.

They are in time line order from front to back & right to left. The all silver example has the prepro base with incomplete Y No. and the hole in the wing for the exhaust. The green one is unique as far as I know, and was part of the big Patrick O'Dowd collection sold in 2003 by Christies. Both the chassis and the baseplate are like no other example I have seen. It was one of those models I was determined to own one day, and I obtained it many years later via Vectis. There is a resin model in a German collection that precedes this example.

Thank's Bob for the info. This is one model that seems to look good in any single or Two-tone colour and that all Silver example does stand out for me.
