Hey Dave, Neat model. Is it old? Matchbox?
Also noticed your "nomad" and checked out the picture.. I am fairly new here, so whats the story on your 75 nomad? Was it a kit or what? More pics? Fixed windows? Sure adds to your luggage space!!!
Thanks....steve

Steve;
The Nomad is my dream come true, my baby. I bought it as a rolling shell, and have spent the past 4 years tenderly rebuilding it. I figure that i will spend the next 20 years getting it "just right". I love working on it, its my only real hobby. So far, i have the running gear complete, and most of the body done, although i stll have a few things to get for it. The interior is in my dining room, or as the wife calls it: the Vette room 
, i had most of it redone in red and black velvet, was about to install the digital dash and start reassembling it when the '74 blew, now working on that got put on hold until the job lets up (i put in 70 hour weeks).

Rereading your post, it does have fixed windows, and the toy is a remote control, about 9 inches long, from japan early 70's :)
