Excuse the cross-posting, but Glenn sent this query to several lists at
once so to save myself time I'll reply to them all at one go :-)

I'd rate it as a size-3 in DS2 terms - the model is roughly the same
bulk as one of our MBTs although longer and narrower. The wheels are
very small (approx 3mm diam).

I don't have the model to hand, but IIRC it's around 25mmx10mm (very
roughly). The wheels are about the same size as the Hyane's, overall the
model is about as long as a Boyd but narrower.

It's likely to go into a master mould quite soon - I have almost enough
new 1/300th masters to fill a mould so as soon as I can finish a couple
more it'll be immortalised in silicone rubber. I'd expect sometime in
the next month or so.
