37a Karrier Bantam "Coca Cola" Bottle Float

[Tinman]

If the bare metal (not really bare, they were 'Grenadised' to give them that dull Grey look), wheels are the same size from model to model, why have the specific model number on them!

Can we have comment on where Ian's new 'Numbered Metal Wheels' topic can be placed, thank's.

They were cast with the rest of the model's parts.

Excellent discovery! Congratulations Jason! A relatively large casting modification and no one has ever noticed it up to the present day.

As I have checked my models, I found both variations with large/small boxes in two yellow/orange-yellow colour variations.

Hi Antonin,
Many thanks for the pictures showing the colour of the models.
Can you tell me if the 37a yellow is the same as the 37b yellow, I have many orange /yellow models but I am not sure if i have a proper yellow 37a.

I have compared the spectrum of the colour shades on 37a and 37b. Some 37a yellow models are very close to the yellow shade of 37b.

Hi Antonin,
Many thanks for the great picture, I can see that it is very close but not quite the same yellow. Now I can check my ones properly to see what I have.

Hi Jason
Interestingly enough, my darkest orange model is with even load of crates. Which is your the darkest orange-yellow model?

Hi Antonin,
I do not have to many of these 37a models, my darkest orange model is even load. As you can see from my picture the two 37b yellow models really stand out against the 37a models.
First picture with flash and second one without.

Nice comparison, Jason. It is not easy to take the picture of the different yellow, orange-yellow shades.
