white 12c

[fixer]

couldn't make my mind up about this one
the casting is damaged to the front ,the base shows signs of being tampered to the rear but around the rivet looks good
someone liked it

I also spotted this one. I didn't go for it because it is the later body casting (with the strengthening either side of the tow hook). I suppose that means that it could still be a colour trial, but a pre-production it is not.

obvious prying damage to the rear of the base, and I would suspect the front damage to be caused by the device used on the opposite front corner while the base was being removed.
While teaching myself about fakes and fakers, I made a RW gold and a SF blue one with little difficulty.

I have never seen a factory 12c with a rivit so deeply filled with paint. Suspect base was drilled off original model and rivit post glued in here. If it was a genuine pre-pro or colour trial I would expect ivory not white seats and no damage to rear tongue and front bumper looking like its been gripped in a vice

I agree with other members that it doesnt look legit,too many tell-tale signs of being post Lesney.Window shows signs of what appears to be a crack (left rear).
A modellers dream for inclusion in a scrapyard diorama.
