You might be right JB, silly me something in the back of my head is also telling me that J had shown one before. I am also over 50 and my memory is not as good as it was 2 days ago!!! :D

It's a real one no doubt. Tiny axle, inside doors as they should be, rivets perfect, 100% real. Anyone who says different may Always come and see.

For some reason I cannot see the rivets in your posted images as the image is cut off showing only part of the models baseplate. I cannot expand the image no matter what I do. :(

Thanks John I can see the whole base now as well.
The base to me looks like its been polished or shot blasted for some reason and the rivets would worry me as well.

I think the similar specimen ure both thinking about is the one which Brennan sold to David and subsequently returned.That one could have been real who knows.
