2a Muir Hill Dumper

Post by johnboy »

I just received the 2a on the right and it's a lighter green than all my others, does anyone else have this shade difference?

The 1a Road Roller comes in distinct shades of green so I don't see any reason why the 2a shouldn't as well - considering they were made and painted at the same time.

It is odd that the 1a colour differences are well documented but none have been mentioned for the 2a previously though.

I only have 1 2a, but I notice the shade on the late gpw 2b at left is darker from the metal wheel 2b and 2a at center and right, and all are slightly different:
