I've got a red stripe one with a bit of damage to the cabs at the fronts . Brought from ebay as a fixer upper as the paint work was dull . A good clean and it now looks a lot better just need the cabs to make it look realy nice .

There may be a problem with Modelspares. Two users have reported items not arriving, no reply to emails and phone on answering machine.

Modelspares declared insolvent. Do not order from them even though their website is still in operation.
