I had received the offer of the photograph of METOROKAB from the person named Eric S. Sundt before.

However, I at that time was not able to buy it because there was no money.

Did nobody buy it?

The image is a sample sent by him.

I've seen CIA documents that had less black on them.

It looks to be the right shape and size, but without more in the photo its hard to say for sure.

Wow, what a mess! Very Happy

I'll revise my negative archive. I have this car depicted (in B/N).

I'd rather have a nice glossy print of the vehicle properly lit on set then half done on a sunny day.

It does seem a nice work in progress picture, but it's not the kind of thing I'd spend money on.

The blacked out portions are funny to me as well. Just seems kind of silly.

Eric S. Sundt painted black. This is a sample.

I also am looking for a complete photograph.

I think he feels it is a rare photo, and by keeping it hidden, it will keep it's value. He is just giving a tease to prove its content.

Is very similar to my pics in the negative set I have, but I must admit, my original pics don't match the material of this one. I must double-check them....

Sorry TKY2019 but I still cannot see the picture you've posted...as for the inside of the taxi, I never saw clear enough pictures to base the re-creation of an accurate model Crying or Very sad
Maybe Nick has a few...who knows Wink

I looked through the stuff I have and no luck. Nickdaring and Ridleyville may be your best hopes.

It's your lucky day...

Here's an old ebay image of the original blueprints-



Here you can see the doors open to the right and cover the right side window-



Here are the two shots I have of the right side-




And the rest-











The Model looks great. Any other pics?

Keep us updated on it's progress.

nickdaring Thank you very much!
Your photo is very grate!

I am negotiating with the person who bought a blue print of ebay now.

Other photographs are these. The other side had been forgotten. It takes a picture in fuller detail when completing it.

Type A has two kinds of decal differences.
