This one is for Mick, when I saw the colour I knew I had seen it somewhere before.

This is an absolutely rare find Jason if it is a color trial in darker yellow similar to what Sms88 had shown earlier on the old forum. This would make yours the 2nd specimen of note.Do enjoy Jason but i sometimes wonder what type magicical powers u possess to detect these rarities in the nooks & crannies.....lol.
Please add a pic of the base.
Thanks,
numi

Awesome find Jason
- was it on ebay or from a private source? Does it have a tow guide and has the baseplate been plated or is it raw mazak?

Numi this one I have to put down to right place at the right time, I have added a base picture for reference.
The base is raw mazak and has the tow guide, was sort of through ebay really(with some others
).

Jason,
Can you confirm what other models this colour on the Muira would compare to?
It looks very similar to the orange colour on the SF#56 BMC 1800?? Are you able to do a comparison shot??

Absolutely glorifying Jason !!
This base casting alone on a deeper yellow color trial is almost an impossibility to find let alone a yearning thereof.
Im happy for Jason...enjoy.

Hi MM
Looked at quite a few models, closest really was my king K19 and the 63 crane. I have added a couple of pictures. J
