Tan 50a colour

Post by moston100 »

I have posted the following set of photos in response to a question from a fellow forum member with respect to the colour of the left hand model in each of the photos. The colour does appear to be a pale tan similar to the 46a minor and the other models are purely for colour comparrison with the first model.
My own thoughts are that this is a normal light brown model 50a which has probably been exposed to bright sunlight over a long period of time as the base shots show a darker shade of brown from the top and sides.
Do any other members have a similar sun faded model or have any thoughts on this toy.

Looking at the baseplate rivets, I strongly suspect a sunfade.
