Hi Ghosty, the model is a very good fit in this box for sure.

Hi Reg,
The model was in a tray with a band holding it to the box, near to a standard model. Both models were the same price so I assume he did not know what he had.
Sorry to hear about the site politics Reg, maybe we will catch up one day. I have a couple of very used Lone star models that need a home.

Hello Jeff
Note the gap between the rear fender and the running board/ tool box. Only the first casting has this gap. This was later filled in so the running board and rear fender are continuous.

Happy hunting! I have never seen the first casting with the gap in 25 years of collecting (except on line).

Nice find Jason!
Happy hunting!
