Hi all,
I posted this model here a few years back, but I can't find the old topic about it, from what I recall, I think most people believed it to be genuine, but some did say fake!
The reason for me re-posting is to get some new opinions on it's authenticity, as I have now listed the model for sale, and I am getting various comments, from plain old suspicion, some say that it's a fake, and one person telling me that the variation does not even exist!, but what is bugging me the most that I'm personally being accused of making a fake model...not happy.
I do not believe it to be fake, as I purchased it a few years back with some train stuff, from Ebay USA, I think I paid around $100-120 for all the train stuff and a few matchbox models, so there was no reason for the seller to fake it, as there was nothing to be gained by them, and the seller was just a second hand dealer, not specializing in toys etc.
I'm happy to supply more photos if required, and, (if it matters) the photos were taken indoors, under a fluorescent light.
I look forward to hearing all opinions, good and bad, and if it does turn out to be declared fake, then that will be disappointing, but no financial loss for me ( I remember selling the train stuff for around $200 anyway).
Thanks,
Jason Main
