Kwakers,
The drivers side isn't quite as light blue, but the tailgate matches the lower half of the side shown. Too bad the overall paint is so chipped up.

Thank you Nick. That is also my opinion :D

Your orange saddle tank on that 26A is a point I completely missed Mike. Many here call this missing trim a negative variation rather than an OOPS. I would actually list it as a variation in our collection if it were mine, so everyone treats these 'specials' differently. That was also a very nice find Mike! :D
Cheers! kwakers
Thank You kwakers. oky a negative variation ;) :D

Since I joined this forum, I find myself looking at my collection, more than I ever did before. Never realized there were so many errors, and variations. So many knowledgeable people here! I was going to paint this Stude flat black and give it to a a friend who has a "real" one, good thing I didn't. Thanks Nick!

Hi Bob.
These error pieces are gaining in popularity, As our collections become complete it is very hard to find models to add to the collection not to mention very expensive too, So more and more people are now searching for and collecting error pieces as a way to keep an interest in the hobby when the few models we need very rare and probably out of our price range.

I know this is a major but I thought I'd post it here to keep them together. An unusually small or unusually large wheel on this one, I can't remember which. I'll have to dig them but the photo was in my oops folder.
