With the decal casting lines showing.

I think that of this model, four seem hard to find, ie !st with-out cast lines. 2nd Light Green gpw with riveted axels, 3rd Light Green with Silver Plastic Wheels. 4th Dark Green with Grey Plastic Wheels, even harder is the dark Green with 9.5 x 20 Tread. I have not found one yet, :(

Please use a web hosting site (like photobucket) to store pictures so you can post them here, using attachments makes it hard to view the pictures when you have to scroll to see them. Seeing comparisons of models is hard to see with attachments too.

My 59:

A couple of 59as, one in a box that shows some...patina:

(would be nice to have one of these with spw, especially the dark green variant)

And a couple 59bs, one with knobby wheels, one with fine wheels. Not sure if the missing decal is a defect or just from the original owner:
