This model makes such an attractive display piece with a vivid red paint finish throughout. Tinplate tank has transfers on both sides and at rear. No dents in the tanker. The lettering at the sides is virtually complete. The rear transfer is notably complete. A little crazing in places and note that one side transfer has minor rubs.
Bright baseplate and well-shaped original tyres. Spare included. Rivet fixing.
LIght scratch on one side and a tiny scratch on the other. Occasional small wheel arch retouch and note that there is very minor casting flaw at a front wheel arch (as-made).
