My long awaited early crest Q1 arrived today

My long awaited early crest Q1 arrived today, purchased with my retirement collection from work, each time she is on the roster I will remember the guys and girls at GSK thank you for your kind wishes on my retirement. The Q1 also brings back memories of my childhood living in Kent.

Enough of the sentiment... the model is exquisite superb detail and in mint unused condition all the bits in the box very very happy I will enjoy.

    Nice one Alan, at least you got something you really wanted....Will it break your heart to weather it? as the only Q1 to be preserved was 33001
