Congratulations JB.....move to the top of the class.

Gene, on the standard base there is an (R) cast into the baseplate between the words "Matchbox" and 'series' on this pre pro base the (R) is missing from the cast. :D

Interesting Alex. I would have never spotted that. Learned something new and something else to keep an eye out for.
Congrats on your find :D

JB just remember, the door of the classroom is in the back of the class. When the bell rings for recess, I'm going to be first one out ! :lol:

A couple more recent arrivals. I always find the #48 Dodge Dumper Truck really difficult to find without paint chips. This one is pretty clean. :D

Some great models Alex, I have to agree the 48 Dodge is a tough one to find without paint chips. J

Thanks J, the dodge is a bugger to find without paint chips as you say.
