Hi John,

Our cousins across the pond will have no idea what we are on about.

Some do. We cut one in half as part of our solution to a scrapheap
challenge problem. Horizontally, just above the tires. Long live the
plastic pig...

To help remember frobettes foundation, I managed to pick up a model of
one on the last trip over. In one way its silly, as it has a pot
metal body, one of the few times where plastic would be the more
accurate. The one we cut apart was the saloon version (complete with
the Anglia style rear window treatment), but the only model I could
find was of the delivery van style (in the livery of the TV series).
Did any of the plastic model companies ever produce a plastic kit of
the version I seek? If so, any chance of finding two of them?
(clearly I need to do a before and an after)

we can't say what we got to build, or how we did until the shows air,
we had a truly great time.
