So I have finished the restoration of one of the two Mk1 HS's I have. Although I did not want to change anything on this restoration, I finally desided to go with a new build original vintage Hotshot Body set. So I gave away the old body as it was not nice enough. However, it is a true and correct Mk1 by all means. No Mk2 or re-re parts with this model. :-)

Thank you gents! Yes Paul, I went boxart with this. the Other Mk1 will be decaled along the Manual.

Nice restoration. Incredibly, I have only just realised that the Hotshot box art does not feature the crest. I have to say that I prefer it to be fitted, but maybe that is because I am so used to seeing it there.

Indeed I did not know it either unless I did a closer look to the box art and compared it with the manual. Then I desided to go boxart and the other Mk1 I am going to restore next will be according to manual but numbering 7 maybe. However, the first page of the manual show the HS w/o the crest, so boxart
