I can not show the Two Japan box styles at the moment, the Two above are with me but my other example (the one I would now like to show), is at my other location in storage, plus not having all my pictures is a real pain in the Arse, sorry Ritchie.

That's ok Ghosty I too always have the problems of not being able to find the models I'm looking for, just because they're in different storage location / boxes I forgotten. I believe one day they will re-appear suddenly, out of expectation. :D

This one is in poor shape, paint has been touched in poorly and the suspension is broken. But its the only one I have seen as yet, Nick shows one but this one lacks the foil on the wheels.

Nice prepro J.
Are you happy that the hubs have never been through the foiling process, given the wear on the body work and paint touch ups to the model could the foiling have been removed through play (just a thought)?

Super find as usual Midas!!

Hi Alex,
Yes quite happy with the wheels, no signs of foil at all. Just a shame about the overpainting.

Hi Guys, Because we know of a few of these in White, it seems natural to assume they are just colour trials to evaluate if White is a good colour for this particular casting and the importance of foiled wheels was not that important, so whatever wheels were available from the parts bin found there way onto these trial models.

Now that Jason has this to hand, can I ask him if it has the 'Trim-Strip' along the side of the body and please can we have the wheel mould numbers, thank's Jason.
