Not many variations on this one, but am looking for the other shade of Yellow.

Greg, is the word "center" a typo or is there something special about the front hubs that I'm unaware of?
It might be time to start my "Bucket List."

Hi George,

Best of luck on your operation.

Is this the shade variation you mentioned on the Jeep. Or is there another? Thought you might like the mrt f-box.

Thanks,

Jeff

JP, not a typo but nothing special either. I was simply attempting to point out that the model I posted had "Wheels/hubs" in the 'center' of "tires" while the previously pictured gray wheeled examples had solid gray plastic wheels up front. Does that make sense?

Aren't these the RW and SF standard body colours (i.e. the richer yellow model is a transitional)?
