This one must have had a wheel between the cab and rear when it went through the painting process, then some one must have removed the wheel.

The GPW and the SPW models.

The BPW models showing the Orange and Red outline decals, the Orange one is not listed on the BPW model, I have not looked on Nicks Variations.

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.

Unusual coloured 20a (I think it may be a match for the Y7a Jacobs.)
