Hi, 1951D2.
I have just hadda closer look at yer toy and appears to be mix of a few things. The hood and firewall look to be 14/15A D8 - note the vertical shaft for the pony crank OUTSIDE the side of the hood - and the fuel tank is from a much later machine as well.

But it sure is well done.

Just my 0.02
You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

Yes Deas, someone put a few hours into it. I will have some better pics after the weekend that I will post. That should shed some light for you more experienced yellow fever boys.

Hi, 1951D2.
I would be interested to see if the engine and frame serial numbers match as well.
