Both are no 3 on the list with 2 plates, also both have painted crane rivets.

Hi John,
Yes its the same as the 1c mercedes truck, model is quite hard to find in any condition. I was very pleased when the paint come off quite well,still a bit of work to do in it but its good enough for now.
Cheers J

Thanks, Jason. I wonder if number 4 on the list exists?

Interesting - I’ve always thought it’s a brighter colour, but perhaps that’s just the contrast with the orange jib. I’m still looking for one!

Recently picked up a job lot for one particular model, when going through the others I picked out these 4 good ones only to notice they all have errors.
Javelin has no window or front engine plastic , Cougar and Datsun have no interior and the Cosmobile has the top missing which I have seen before. The models are in near mint condition and it just seems strange that all these end up in one lot, either they were very unlucky or maybe these came out of a reject bin.
