Re: [T3] model kits of the notchy kind?


Plus there is Dinky 144 which is a cream Notch with an opening boot and a
little suitcase that goes in there. More on the red fastback - it also comes
on a little roadway diorama with a clear cover. Corgi made a 343 model same
size with opening boot and bonnet.
