Dan i dont recall the #55 having a patrol officer in full coloured uniform sitting waiting for his next coffee and doughnut!!!
At least his uniform matches the colour of the domes on his motor!!

Brilliant Dan if i were you i would leave it as it looks a nice display piece. By the way have they repainted the interior as well? It looks an orangy colour?Brad Pittiful wrote:good eye...i didnt even notice they were detailed until i got model in hand...lucky i was going for the box and not the model eh! they did a nice job of reriveting the base...too bad i wont reopen it to remove the detail paint as i would only ruin the rivets...unless it comes off easy...but for now ill leave it untoched

Surely the tractor with large rear hubs is a gem so it should not be in the picture. Great find Dan, That's one I am still looking for.

the joke part of the thread was...there are more gems than non gems and most people post a lot of cars with one gem and a bunch of common models... the above pic has 4 gems out of 6 models
the two #3 bedfords...one has the small three
