This pre-weathered diecast replica is from Maisto in their "Old Friends" series. It looks really good and especially so in it's used/weathered aspect.

excellent Mike. 2 or so years ago I would have grabbed one of those, but now with 1/24 space at a premium???

Yes, it can be tough to be a collector as space is really at a premium. Too bad diecast car models can't be temporarily shunk down to an inch or so across until you actually take them out to admire or display them.

You'd think you could clean up a bit before taking a picture!
HA! I love these 'weathered' cars. Your photos are GREAT!
