- or, HM is well aware about this mistake but in hunt for a profit maximization they simply decided to make this model anyway, no caring how this mistake will be accepted - someone will still buy it.

Thanks.
I think it's always been a mixture between those at HM. Pretty much no diecast model is completely accurate, it's always up to the collector to decide which inaccuracies he/she can accept. I'm going to skip this one as well, which is a shame.
I know that one of the drivers of MLD development was manoeuvrability, so I presume that all the "new builds" had dog teeth. I think some earlier versions were modified to MLDs, and I've seen pictures identified as "MLDs" without them. Before I pass this on to William, do you know if there really are MLDs without the notch at the root, if so, did they have the fences/dispensers?
Glad my diecast collecting days are coming to an end.
