Agreed, and if Lesney had done the same, it surely would have helped sell more.

I agree too, that's a great shade and the finish is very smart.

Hi,
Ewan this is one of the models you send me a while ago.
Finaly I found a somehow matching paint for the box.
The door is a sparepart - the chassis etc. is untouched.

Hi all,
Finaly finished up this Ford Station Wagon.
The window unit is a new part from Modell Supplies - I was not happy with the part because it was 1,5 mm to narrow and 2 mm to short to fit properly.
After a while of thinking what to do I decided to heat it up with boiling water and press ist over the old window unit.
It worked and now it fits the model much better then before but still not perfect.

Wow, look at that number 66 Greyhound Coach with clear glazing, that is a very nice find.

Yes, they're nice to have. Looks like the Jag has red hubs?

I looked at those and discounted them as being painted as there seems to be something going on with the body. I am sure Stephan with reveal the truth... :D
