The T cut label variation of the fire truck is a tough one to find. I bought my version off non other than Nick Jones himself on the VBD Auction a while back.

Here's a trio of Brazil issues. The green one is my favorite and the first issue, but the red one was a short run and quite hard to find. The plastics on the red and yellow were originally clear and have discolored. This is a fairly common issue due to the Brazil climate.

I love the vibrant colours used on the brazilian issues

I agree Al, but how many are passed on as pre pro or colour trials by dodgy sellers after cleaning off the stickers from the base, I'm thinking mainly ones like the lime green which could be passed as being in kennel truck colours
