Some lovely stuff there Linus. Congrats on the Javelin!!

[Sir_Matchbox_96]

Thanks Motorman! The Javelin was cheap, next target will be the metallic dark green one...
I had a 4-day-trip to Berlin with my Girlfriend and here are my souvenirs:

Let's start with a #41b Jaguar D-Type with red hubs:



I was long searching for the next one, #71b Jeep Gladiator with green interior (seems quite hard to find here in Germany) :


Mod Tractor with 4 Spoke wheels to front:


And four more...:





Have a great sunday,
Linus

Very nice Linus. Your #63 Dodge Crane is interesting as the crane looks a paler yellow to the body. Nick Jones picked one up at Falkirk a few weeks ago the had 2 different shades of yellow.

Thanks Motorman. I had the same thought regarding the colour when I bought it. I will have a look at my other examples and will upload a comparison shot, too. There may is a parallel to the different shades used on the SF #4d Dodge Stake Truck.
I will create a post in the Superfast section as I have another question on this one.

Thanks again,
Linus

The Dodge crane's in a "2 tone " finish seem to turn up quite often at fairs saying that I won't see one for ages now
I would think they are plentiful as the two parts would have been painted separately and respective colour batches could vary

Strangely enough the 2 tone #63 Nick found at Falkirk was the first one i had actually seen in the hand.

Here's my 2 tone
I would assume you can get combinations of yellow shades

Thanks Reg, a very good example of a two tone!!
