I received this model last week, have been after this 71a code 1 for a while in Mint condition. The seller said he would only post to the USA so I emailed him to see if he would post to Australia, He would but he would have to charge me $10.00 postage, but if it was less than that he would refund the difference to me. At that price I said I was quite happy to pay the $10.00.

Here is the model received the postage was actually $11.40.

congrats George! i finally found one cheap...not mint like yours and it has a bent front axle

Hello Brad, looking at the Code 2 base plate I wonder if they made another dye, or just or if the just had some one with a pair of cutters to cot the corners of as they do not look very symmetrical on the corners, what do you think? Yes this Code 1 base plate does not seem to come up to often, also is the hole on the Water Tank on your Code 2 filled in as mine shows, suppose it was done so as not to loose all the water from the Tank
