Some models I get are pretty bad but still too good to throw away. So I take them to bits, replace broken parts and put the back together again, usually with a new colour paint. I am not trying to restore models but merely giving them a new lease of life. Maybe someone will like to have them. If not they make a great display here on my desk.

This one has the original shaped wheels from the first issue of this model. The chrome chassis and window unit are both original. In fact there are no replacement parts, other than the paint.
