Two hard to find versions of the 73 Mercury Commuter.

Green body with wide wheels and red body with rare Wildcat label.

Very nice hard to find variations there Rob

Thanks Alex.

Here is a pre-production of the 73 Weasel with metallic red body, I do like it in this colour.

Now I know why I am not a big Military model fan, its the colour, because that Orange-Red version is bloody great and I would collect them and the Military 'Battlekings' etc in the lighter Greens are more pleasing because of the colour.

I like this one as well Rob, I have had a few now in Red and also have one in a red/orange or bronze colour. My ones are nowhere near the condition of your one but I am glad to have one in the collection. J

I have seen one of these in the same red/bronze colour as the Badger - it was a very attractive model in that colourway, a shame they stuck with only the green for the production runs even if it was more realistic.

Cheers,

I especially like the 2 Spotted Cat variations Mathias, thanks for showing, Rob.

The only Cat head I have ever seen that I know is real has a Silver painted base. Does any of yours have that base? I say its real because its still in the
blister. It is also the only silver painted base Red 73A I have come across.
