I believe you are experiencing Murphy's 1st Law of Model Kit Purchasing; The availability of good deals on OOP kits is indirectly proportional to your desire to have the kit. Curiously, this occurs for each of us individually. I believe this supports the 'many universes theory' of quantum physics.

Interesting technique. The roof looks great.

That is one very cool wagon.

Cool subject! Not for beginners, me thinks. Looking forward to seeing you wrestle this one to the ground.

Interesting project. It's coming along very nicely. I love seeing these off-the-beaten-path subjects being built.

Very cool little model, Michael. Your weathering is top notch, very authentic.

Very cool stuff, Steve. Great style, and nice work on the grill conversion.

Cool custom. Love the mail-slot rear window, and really glad to see the six.

I dig it! Cool little camper.

Cool project. Lovely work so far, Charles. The chassis is super nice, and excellent work on the grill guard. That must have been a chore. Looking forward to watching this one come together.

A fine looking short-tracker. Classic look, great livery, and well built. Love it. ... and hear the whine of the straight-cut gears.

Wow! It's in incredible condition.

Welcome to the forum, Craig. The build is looking good. Lots of knowledge people here to help you with any issues you may be having. Enjoy.

Congrats! A very well deserved placement. I have somehow missed this build over the years, so just spent the last hour or so going through this entire build thread. Nice work, and I really appreciated your efforts to get the details right. The result is a very cool little model.

The polishing job looks great, David. Nice work. Are you able to use Micro Mesh pads? The finer ones (6000, 8000, 12,000) would work well on bare plastic. Perhaps not necessary on this project, but in case some plastics do not polish up as well as the Rolls. Maybe Micro Mesh pads (used wet) could be a first step, followed by your toothpaste regimen. Just a thought.
