Where did the replica come from, who made it?

Dunno. I posted the pics that a canadian friend sent me. My friend said it looks good until you get really close and then the lack of some of the detail is a tell tale sign. But hey, so is a 1:24 model as well.
:wink: Maybe our Canadian WIXer's can shed some light on this.

I found this page regarding the initial delivery in May:
