LONDON (Reuters) - Cuban President Fidel Castro has finally made it into the halls of Madame Tussaud`s famed wax museum in London. A wax figurine of the cigar-smoking revolutionary, who turned 73 on Friday, was unveiled at the museum where more than 400 wax figures of the rich and famous draw 2.6 million visitors a year. "It has been for me a great honour, much more than I deserve," Castro said of his likeness in a statement. A sculptor travelled to Havana last

year to meet Castro and take the hundreds of measurements needed to create the figure in his familiar green fatigues. "Castro`s been on our list for years and years but sometimes it`s just difficult to catch up with the famous," a Madame Tussaud`s spokeswoman said when asked why Castro was not honoured sooner.
