no i painted it...somewhere someone posted a promotional picture of matchbox models and there were some different colored ones in the pic...whether it be prepros or color trials...i was into repainting models for awhile and i was looking for stuff to paint...the scaffold truck not having any variations or just one i thought this would add some pizzazz to my collection of this model

Please use a web hosting site (like photobucket) to store pictures so you can post them here, using attachments makes it hard to view the pictures when you have to scroll to see them. Seeing comparisons of models is hard to see with attachments too.

Not sure if these disc wheels are considered rare or Htf.

It's unclear which they are because the contrast/lighting on Ebay photographs is not normally good enough to enable the wheel type to be readily discerned. I recall Nick making enquiries about who had an 11c with disc wheels (I think it was on the old Forum) and the response was extremely limited, so my guess is definitely borderline htf/rare and perhaps even rare (although there may also be a geographical distribution factor skewing the results!).

I have no problem calling them rare.
It might be time to start my "Bucket List."
