Dashboard inside still looks the normal white, would say that something has discoloured the outside paint. J

Cheers Mike
Mike, One that I have, seems to be cream colored ??
It is missing the decal, but does not appear to be re-painted.
This model has the tow guides and bumper extension.
In Nicks variation guide however, the cream variation is noted, as having no guides or extension..
So I don't know??
Any thoughts from anyone, are appreciated.

The model in the middle has been damaged by exposure to UV or tobacco smoke or other chemicals - note the inside of the dash is the same shade of white as on the other pair in this photo

i have a hard time differentiating the shade differences sometimes...i dread variations like this :lol:
Please use a web hosting site (like photobucket) to store pictures so you can post them here, using attachments makes it hard to view the pictures when you have to scroll to see them. Seeing comparisons of models is hard to see with attachments too.

Mick's right!!, the exterior bodywork looks like it has been exposed to tobacco smoke whilst the inner paint work is clean.

I think hot soapy water will bring Mikes #41 up brilliant white!!!

Alex the the cream (smoke) tinted model is mine (zBret's) not Mike's ;) , somewhere in along the post line, you wandered off the trail :lol:
Anyways.. I do appreciate the comments posted.

As I recall I bought this model from somewhere in Canada, so perhaps it spent many years in a smoke filled Moose Lodge
( no offense intended if you belong to a, Moose Lodge)

Even though it didn't leave the factory in this color, I rather like the patina it has taken on, and as I have other 41c models I won't be taking any hot soapy water to this one.

I'd really like to see a pic of a genuine cream 41c, if anyone has one to post.

Alex is always wondering off the trail, that's why why need to keep his lead on. Whoever took it off, don't he'll get into trouble.

Ghosty.
