Notes
More desirable issue of the Turntable Fore Escape with a Berliet Cab. Bright metallic red finish, window glazing and chrome ladders. Scarce version with a black platform too. Button-ended axles.
Note that the jib support is factory painted non-metallic red:
Complete with original string. A few small marks to the paint finish at the point where the ladders rest on the roof and a small mark or two besides. This item has barely seen the light of day.
This model comes complete with both packing rings, packing foam and Instruction Leaflet.
The pictorial card end flap box is clean, crisp and bright. Light wear only.
Not often seen in this condition, especially bearing in mind the weight of the model inside.
Desirable rare variant.
