Tin toys and resin ones both have their appeal and uses/challenges. My Trojan model was all tine, my TG 500 was tin with resin on nose and wings. I curved the Trojan tin by hammering, but the TG's deeper nose and wing curves were too much for the tin which split so I did basic shallow curves then added resin to flesh-out the curves. I only had 2 very poor quality black and white photocopies to work with, and memory, and had to guess some of the shapes, like the rear end of the Trojan. The copies were from a library book in Fulham, and I thought the TG was white, but I did copy the number plate. decades later at my first NMCR in 2008 I had my models on display on the back shelf of DUF. Returning to Duf after a break I saw that a pale blue TG had parked in front of DUF and I recognised the number, and got a few photos of the TG's owner holding my model in front of their car.
