Thats looks very nice. Shame someone stuck labels over it. Does the trunk have raised edge detail Dan?

I might be wrong but they look like water decals, in which case they might come off.

yeah its minty except for the labels..i kinda like it when a i get a model with labels and decals on it...but in this case i wish they werent there...from experience...i know not to remove them as it might damage the paint

not decals...labels...i wish they were decals..i wouldve removed them when i first received the car

Nice Dan! It's definitely a conversation piece. I've removed labels before with heat and some come away ok and some can leave a patch of discolouration underneath or a even a darker area where the paint has been shielded from the light and the environment, so I understand your reluctance

yeah i rather have a minty looking model with labels than a minty looking model with label removed and marks or missing paint or a different color from the car fading over the years...besides its not like its going into a museum...its just in my collection...which im ok with

Nor me, but if you get fed up with those annoying little labels Dan just send it across the pond this way

An added bonus with my recent Cortina 'G' box find, was the very dark blue model to the left: -



A much deeper shade than my previous 'dark blue' model which has now been relegated into second place. There isn't a comparative blue model in my collection, although the darker blue 64 MG 1100 probably comes closest.
