Dave,
Thanks for your help. the only suprise was that it seems that the lines should be gold! I think that the mention of an article on diamonds that Brian refered to is also mentioned in Technicalities as “Scott Diamonds” Feb 84. Do we go back so far with our records of Yowl. Just to muddy the water a bit more, A bit further along in “Technicalities” it refers to:- diamonds a reply, v14/3 april1985 where a 1936 FS was imported to Australia with purple panels.
I like the idea of gold lies but would hate to put them under several coats of laquer only for some smart rr to tell me that I got it wrong.
thanks once again for your help.

Hi Lewis
Thanks for your comments. Andy Tiernan has sold the 1936 model, the 1940 was a misprint and I don’t really want anything as new as 1947. However please do keep looking. Many thanks
