I have posted all the above in the original file size as I got them, so no enhancements or resizing so on some screens the right hand side of the image may be missing, just right click on the image and select View Image.

Thanks to Kevin for a sterling effort - if no-one has any objections I would like to copy the article and photos (if I can) and put them up on my site http://toysnz.com (with proper attribution of course) so that we will have at least two copies available via the internet as future references.

Comments please on this proposal....

Following on from my last post, I've just discovered (trawling through my archives on my NAS) that I saved the original MCCH posting and photos and then never did anything with it! Its been languishing away in my archives and I'd forgotten all about it - have now moved a copy to my current laptop and will cross check it against Kevin's post to see if anything missing as I've noted some photobucket images are no longer showing up in my archived version.

Tanker should be corrected to this:

One of three "B" models in the MB Originals range! Why, who knows?

Too bad the actual models don't command such prices ;)

These pictures came from Vectis as is the text.
I can not change this text.
The models were preproduction and all sold far higher the the estimate.

I put a copy of my pic in place of the original.
Kevin, you might want to redo my tinkering so every image is from the same cloud source.

I was speaking about the regular (common) production models from China, not the pre-production or resin castings. And, those are some beautiful resin castings!
