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

Managed to get over the Windsor toy fair, very quiet but did manage to pick up this cracker below.
Also met up with Ghosty and as always his enthusiasm and knowledge is just superb. Thankyou Ghosty.

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.

hi, could just be me, but why is this diffrent from the standard one, what am i missing

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!
