Hello Silje,
Welcome to the forum.
Very nicely laid out and ......I have just found you a 75b top right corner.
Some very nice variations here and in nice condition too.
Do not be in a rush to part with any of these until you have checked each one. There could easily be something quite special amongst this group from your Dad.
If you are able to take some close up or macro photos of individual models are you able to please post a photo of the side and base view of the 73a RAF refueller.
It looks like the number 8 and 18 models still have their rubber tracks, these may be brittle in some cases and will no longer roll but it is nice to see they are still original and intact.
Between Nicks variation pages, the unlisted variation reviews and the casting shows and more you have come to the right place to learn about these while you still have them in your care.
Looking forward to seeing more pics in the future.
Have fun sorting all these.
Bert

Thank you, Bert
I should have clarified that rgd the 75b - I think it comes with two different sets of rims/wheel size? I have the larger ones. But this may be only a "variation" of the model?
Pls excuse my n00b terminology
Refueller:
A couple of the rubber tracks are broken, but still on the models - trying to handle them as gentle as I can!
I have already learned very much from this forum, really appreciate you knowledge around here!
Looking forward to hanging around - I still have more models to investigate

Hi, that's a nice layout that you have there. My eyes aren't what they used to be but maybe you have a 4b already and are missing the 4a. The 4a has mudguards, Laurie

Very nicely presented Silje , not top many holes in the collection you have almost all of them.
Would be nice to see a close-up pic of the 57b Impala the one that appears to be powder blue all over and also both 59a Singer vans.

Nice to see ya Bert! I hope you haven't tanned too much over the summer down there

Silje is officially on the path to collecting oblivion with some long Days and Nights ahead of him, checking all those models against the forum's reference material...
Ghosty.
