14b Mini-Ha-Ha

Post by johnboy »

Sorry for the novice question. I came across this one with seagreen windows, no labels or foiling. Can anyone tell me how common the seagreen windows are? thanks

Hi John,
I do not think they are that common, I have had quite a few of these models and have only had one with these windows.
I like the different colours on the faces and of course the base with the number 45 is worth looking out for.

Thanks Jason, I'll be turning all of these over in future. I like the face colours as well.

Hi,

my own Mini Ha Ha has light blue 'windows', I reckon the dark blue is rarer, with the sea-green being the hardest to find. Of course, the unissued No. 45 is the ultimate, with only a handful on the market. I like to think of the 14b as the ideal companion to the No. 11 (Flying Bug), as both have an outsize 'driver' and 'aviator' themes.
