Re: Casting #64
Love the reverse hook, one of the only regular wheel models that I have an unused casting of.

Re: Casting #64
That unused casting is very cool J. I've never seen anything like that from that period, and I only have a couple - both late Lesney SF castings. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,

I do like the castings and have a few superfast ones as well.

Please use a web hosting site (like photobucket) to store pictures so you can post them here, using attachments makes it hard to view the pictures when you have to scroll to see them. Seeing comparisons of models is hard to see with attachments too.

Re: Casting #64
Why do you think they modelled the MG so large?

Re: Casting #64
To take up most of the space in the 'One Size Fits All' standard box.
The 1-75 Series miniatures range was not made to a constant scale. Smaller subjects based on real cars do tend to be bigger than they need to be so park the MG 1100 next to a Rolls-Royce (#24c) and the difference is very noticable and un-realistic!
