Doesn´t make it easier - thats a reason to leave the tow hook where it is.

I wasn´t shure if this pale green will fit the Euclid - now I think it does.

On this model only the body and axles are original Matchbox.
The door, wheels and labels came by Modelcarparts.
The chassis was made in a 3D-Printer.

As a very collectible model it is fabulous. As a restoration it is wondeful as it has allowed an old model to be very displayable and presentable.
How far away are we from seeing a fully produced 3D printed model, regardless of it being based on a matchbox or similar model!

Thank you all and Pete the wheels are original.
I always clean them and soak them in oil for a few days then they look quite good.
