Antonin did not seem to know about that very early casting, but someone in our hobby now has that one in their collection. Unique? probably not. Have any of us ever checked our already hard to find green 43As webbing? I know I never had until I saw John's listing last year with his excellent pictures of the Post without any webbing. kwakers

Hi Dick
Unfortunately, I have overlooked this model and do not have it in my collection. I was really very sad.
Antonin

Two webs on mine as well

Come on guys . Keep to the topic . This is too serious to be hijacked .NO-ONE GIVES A F#*K THE 43 ,IT AINT WORTH $7000 AUSTRALIAN ,ITS WORTH $200 CASE CLOSED . TOP GERMAN SELLER ,,, SELLING CODE 3 ,AS ORIGINAL . AND ASKING $7000---- DISCUSTING . NO WONDER PEOPLE ARE LEAVING THIS HOBBY LEFT RIGHT AND CENTRE

I REMEMBER BEING ON THE RECIEVING END OF A LOT OF NEGATIVE FEEDBACK BY FORUM MEMBERS ABOUT SELLING MODELS THAT I THOUGHT WHERE LEGIT MODELS . WHAT A PITY SOME OF THOSE PEOPLE DONT SHOW THEIR BACKBONE NOW.I WONDER WHY . I WAS A PRIVATE /PERSONAL SELLER . THIS GUY IS A BUISNESS . BUT THEN AGAIN I WOULD NOT WANT TO SAY ANYTHING EITHER . YOUR WHOLE COLLECTION WOULD BE BRANDED AS BEING TAINTED WITH FAKES . YOU POOR PEOPLE .I WOULD BE GETTING EXPERT OPINIONS ON YOUR MODELS IF I WHERE YOU .

I agree that it's inappropriate to begin discussing variants of another model on this thread (while I do understand why it was mentioned). Firstly, nobody will ever be able to find the budding discussion and second, the thread is discussing a serious topic. For it to be hijacked at this point is all wrong.

At this point, the thread started onto a third direction. I have split off the posts (that came after Mr. Moko's comments) into a thread (in the Lounge) titled "Member VS Member trade disputes." Any further discussion of a member's problems with another member should appear in that new thread and NOT here.

Thanks Tinman.

Well the listeing is unchanged so someone do not give a XXXX, what we think. Maybe we should all report it on ebay as someone suggested.

You lost me Joe , What ""Member VS Member trade disputes."" ? I was trying to keep this to the point . I am still more than a bit pissed that the seller can offload this . Makes you wonder what has been sold to high end collectors . And they would be high end with his prices. Now what is this ""Member VS Member trade disputes."" ??? I can not see it anywhere. Still angry

Regardless of what has been posted above about an example of #23c Caravan with windows, what follows below is a re-posting of forum members postings about the same subject when we discussed it on 'Lefora', our previous forum.

Not all forum members featured are now available for further comments and none of the links are active.

I have left the postings in as near as possible the original size for ease of reading, but you will have to scroll it to the right position to see the text fully.

After that flashback into the whole incident, I'm still angry. I still think Hardy is a dishonest person and any opinion he has is now worthless.

It takes years to build up a reputation, but only seconds to destroy it.....
