All I can say is, "Wunderbar" :D !!!

It's like a big 'Michelin Man' in the sky, pointing to... your house, Mike! He's saying, "That's where the Matchbox house is!"
:D
Cheers, Ken

OK, back on topic ;) Yeah, it’s a superb model... classic and elegant. One of the things I like about RW models is their closeness in detail to the cars they’re based on. Very realistic proportions!

Just out of interest, Mike, what does Nico think of the 1-75 ‘Superfast’ models?

Cheers, Ken

Well I’m not surprised, Mike, RWs ARE very impressive :D and for Nico to have such interest in them is the mark of a true connoisseur! I think what attracts us as adults to our models is the love we had for them as kids.. that part never changes. So, hopefully Nico will grow up with love for these models, and carry our Hobby into the next generation, and beyond!

Btw, I played with trucks and transporters a lot when I was a kid. Really gave them a rough time, though, none have survived! ;)

Cheers, Ken
