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!!

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

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?

yes they did...they painted the dash board and rear deck white...and the seats are red...the floor looks black or blue...the rear tail lights were painted red and the license plates are painted blue

Bloody hell Dan i am suprised they didn't paint the bodyword dayglo pink!!

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.

That's what I was thinking, so is there a catch?

also larger front hubs on the lower tractor?

correct!

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
