Took me ages to log in succesfully.
Finally after flipping the model for a 1000 times I found one in the club for a very cheap price.

Very nice find and not an easy one to get. It looks to be in great condition (displays well upsidedown) :lol:

Please use a web hosting site (like photobucket) to store pictures so you can post them here, using attachments makes it hard to view the pictures when you have to scroll to see them. Seeing comparisons of models is hard to see with attachments too.

I can't say how long it was until the casting was changed. Must have been a few made though - thousands? I've owned two - the one shown below and another in more playworn condition that I sold to Tim a few years back. Both were found and purchased in England - this one in the East Midlands (Donington toyfair IIRC), the other in Sussex I think.

The other model shown for comparison turned up in small town NZ...
