Hi George lovely model & box a bit out of my pocket at the moment. I had a chance about 10 years ago to buy a play worn one but the jib was broke & no paint on it, I think he wanted about a £100 then perhaps I should have brought it Pete

Probably the darker 13b. (The one on the left.)
I wasn't away of the colour differences, so I'll have another look this evening.

Hello Pete yes hindsight can be a wonderful thing, I was offered this model about seven years ago for GBP 3700, back then that was a bit rich for me where as now I would jump at it.

No, still no joy. It seems to be a particularly pale shade.

It was delivered this morning. I will take some pictures when i get home from work. Fingers crossed again.

Here we go...all fingers are crossed, good luck Tony.

Ghosty.

here are the pictures.



















Sorry for having so many pictures. It looks good to my untrained eyes.

Looks good to me too. (The body colour seems correct, being tan with a hint of caramel and no obvious match to another model.)

Looks genuine to me too - the oxidisation on the hook rivit looks decades old, wear on wheels looks natural - good score at that price !
