Notes

This collector wanted only the best examples in his collection ? always a discerning buyer of the finest examples he could find. After over 25 years, he has now decided to part with items from his own extensive collection.
This is one of them.

This fine military truck has an original, matte, olive green finish with a matching tinplate tilt, tow hook and painted hubs (minor rough casting to one). Brightest metal parts including axle ends. Original tyres look as-new ( spares are still stowed behind the cab). Intact transfer at the rear. Pleasing, unused quality.

An impressive example with a just few little rubs to the raised detail points at the sides (due to box contact).
Tinplate tilt has a couple of mere dots and has retained its shape.
The yellow pictorial box is crisp, bright and fresh. Complete with the serrated strip (starting to detach itself from the box). Often these boxes are found in a poor condition due to the weight of the model). A little minor handling wear and a tiny end flap tear.
