Cheers MrB

Simple answer, the Japs got the shape of the Q wrong on the early models, but quickly put it right when the mistake was pointed out. Therefore the misspelt ones are rare and strangely much sought after :roll:
Look, my paintwork hasn't got "Fish scales" :x they're "Dragon scales" right!!! However, after some thought, I will accept "Black Marlin" or "Swordfish", but definitely not "Haddock" or "Cod".
