One of my favorite M.P. models, love seeing them all together.

A beautifully crafted model that's very playable. I always thought that the Major Pack range was undervalued.
Thanks for the great display of models.

Though I think Lesney may have been a little off with the scale, I like this model. I passed on the opportunity to buy the only one I've seen in person, as it was missing the scraper unit.

Revised post; added a fourth variation of the Moko Lesney Type B box.
