With Chav's post concerning his amazing CMC collection, I thought I'd add one of my own. I only have a few of them. This particular model was kind of received as a fluke. I had ordered the black/red version, but David Sinclair didn't have one as he thought. He sent this one along instead so as not to disappoint me completely. I was still a little disappointed, at the time I found this color combination a little odd. I really wanted the black/red one. It took some time to really appreciate what I had, and today this is one of my prized models.

John, I think that color combo is stunning. You have a beautiful prize there. 😎

Initially, I thought the color combo was rather garish and not period so I passed. I look at it now with some regret. Nice pics, John.
