Notes
Earliest version of this Bulldozer made between 1949-54.
The model has such a fine lustre to the paint finish!. Complete with the familiar fawn driver figure and intact smoothly running original olive green tracks.
Mechanism for raising and lowering the blade works well.
Bright baseplate and metal parts, both chimney and air intake are present.
Couple of mere dots to the paint finish and two factory dabs of extra red paint. Tow hook looks as though it has never been fitted ( loose inside the box)/
The earliest buff card box with red & white picture label is clean, bright and complete, showing minimal wear. Dinky yellow paper label on one side. Rusty staples. Card insert and additional card packing piece present. Informative slip too!
