Just one glance at the rivets shows it to be a fake. (No offence to anyone here, but i wouldn't buy any htf or rare model from a seller in eastern Europe.)

Playworn wheels and baseplate, very near mint body (except where the bonnet was chipped where it was pried off of the RW baseplate) and still people are bidding on it.

A poor fake that probably took minutes to do. While there's bidders like these, the fakers are rubbing their hands together.

There's nothing regular about wheels

The frightening thing is that two of these bidders have feedback scores in excess of 1,000. They really ought to kniow better by now. Talk about having more money than sense....

Even if those biddres are trying to get the model 'Off' the market by buying it, seems an awful way to spend large sums of money!

Why would you do that Kevin?

Buying it only encourages the faker to make more!!

It takes one to know one!

Has a certain ring about it, an established faker can buy them to get them out of the way to make way for his own fakes, he does not want competition!
