I will go into the loft over the weekend and take some photos. I’ve tried to put photos on posts unsuccessfully, don’t know what I am doing wrong. It is made by a company called PBM Models,don’t know what scale it is. It’s over 40 years old.

Hello John,

Welcome!

I'm also new here but I've learnt so much it's incredible, fantastic bunch of people and never too much trouble to ask advice.

The shop attached is also very good (my bank account disagrees) and you can get anything you need within reason.

Enjoy the forum, you'll love it.

Del.
