Plenty
MGBs, eh? The yellow car second from left in the top row is Eagles Race by brand,
and a pretty bright yellow. The one I ordered is a Minichamps soft top in hard-to-find
Cream. It was delivered in good condition and is center-bottom. One other
I "won" on eBay arrived in pieces. The seller had misled me as to his
location (Canada, not Washington state) and said he would insure it (not possible
internationally) and stonewalled all the normal attempts to resolve the matter.
Bad guy packed the model box in a layer of trading cards. No shock-absorption
there.
Then there was the Swiss seller whose packing may have been marginal
so another cream-colored MGB bit
the dust. He refunded 80% of the (pretty big) price. An honorable
seller. Any road, I kept my fingers crossed.
One
other relatively certain addition was
the Eagles Race red Monte Carlo Rallye MGB, #183, second from right in row three.
I think there may eventually be a bronze to add. My "play-worn" MGB
GT from Corgi (red with a pale blue interior, no suitcase) is top-center.
Meantime,
check out the #37 red LeMans model by Mikansue. It's a little different in its
proportions, isn't it? |
