An old LifeLike MEC GP7 arrived from the USA today. I shot it from ebay with my iPad laying at the pool in Gran Canaria 
The model arrived in poor condition. I merged parts (drive, handrails etc.) with a spare model, added LEDs and Tsunami sound.. The last green MEC GP7 disappeared in 1981 and the first BM in plain blue paint appeared in 1983. Not a perfect match but good enough for me.

ps. Three wonderful harvest gold Atlas MEC models have been offered at US ebay too while I was on vacation but the seller did ship to US only. That was frustrating but I read enough stories of frustrated US sellers having lots of trouble with overseas sales.
pps. A harvest gold Atlas MEC GP7 with international shipping pop up brand new in US ebay. I shot it immediately
