As this model is being spoken about this was my thread from some time ago.

It came off Ebay from a UK Seller. I did hold back some other information on the provenance on it at the time.
The model itself has an unusal feature on the back, there is a small hole which looks like something was pushed it to hold it up. This strikes me as strange, why would you ruin the model by making a hole in the back ? The front wheels have been chopped off and re-attached as stated previously
The provenance of the model itself might be the most intriguing. This was only imparted to me after the sale and I have no doubt to dis-believe what the vendor said as it might just me imagining this happended as I do recall at least one of these events.
The seller said it was a competiton prize but he could'nt remeber if it was from the UK Kids magazine Look-In or from a Saturday Morning TV Kid's show but it was won in a competition as being from the film.
This is where I might be getting a bit fuzzy in my old age but I do remember Ridley Scott doing a promotional TV slot on a UK TV Kid's how in the early 1980's for Blade Runner or it might have been Legend ?
The story sounds completely plausible as there were a lot of Kid's show in the early 80's on both of the UK's TV channels Very Happy
Any UK members remember this ?
I've tried looking at all the Look-ins for the arly 1980's but short of buying each one off ebay for silly money I've not found a reference to it.
I'll conceed it might just be a custom modern model job but unless I see a similar one or if it was released in kitform it still bugs me
I posted over on propsummit and really did'nt get to a conclusion
