I think too, but let's see it. If genuine, than OK, if not, my children will be very happy with an old Routemaster Bus

I have a shelf for genuine error pieces that are this interesting. I hope this one turns out to be a genuine factory done odd model.
I also have a special shelf for interesting re-paints or "Mistakes" which I have bought "As-Is" that I still continue to enjoy with a smile. Either way, enjoy this model for what it turns out to be, and let the kids play with a more modern boring model instead. This older one will always be fun to look at either way......Kwakers

Since nobody else seems to have mentioned it, I want to point out that this model is obviously not a 5c but a late issue 5d with plastic interior and with labels rather than decals.

Those grey wheels are therefore a few years older than the rest of the model.

Never mind Kiov, as you did not buy the Bus, have a Happy Birthday instead, much cheaper to do and it will give you more enjoyment...

Something not quite right with the axle-end holding the Grey wheels...

GHOSTHUNTER.

Clearly manipulated axle-end on the Gpw with vice marks visible on stem of axle.The axle-end on the Bpw is factory.
Sorry about that but at least your kid has something new to bus around. Congrats on your new bundle of joy!

That is a pity but i was expecting to see that it had been tampered with
