I cannot seem to find the thread where one shows a tiny bit of a model and others attept to identify it. I'm sure it is here somewhere as it was quite popular on the old forum but since I am terrible at taking pictures, and at least as bad at identifying tem I thought we might give a brain teaser version a go. Winner gets to ask the next question, but since I will probably never get one right, I'll start it out.

Whick RW model has over 3 times more box variations than model variations?

2 variations of model, 5 variations of box. Good try but not the over 3:1 ratio.

Hello ford_a_30, the Pictures Puzzle is above what you have now created as A new sort of game? was it not there when looking for it, I guess dear old Nick was hiding it for himself to solve and take all the glory...

Ahhh yes, picture puzzle. However this game refers not to small hard to distinguish pictures of a part of a model (not trying to sound mean, I'm just really, really bad at it) but this instead deals with obscure information that is sure to make you the envy of the party. Or the butt of bad jokes.
However, since this thread has recieved about as much love as the model itself, the answer is the 62a general service lorry. this model has only 2 listed variations yet was offered in 7 different styles of box!

There are 13 regular wheel models that have an odd number of actual wheels and three with an odd number of actual tires. List them.

No extra wheel on the austin radio truck, but there is one on the 15b rotinoff, so still makes 14.
The 3 with odd number of tires, would be;
1) 18e field car
2) 49b unimog
3) 71b jeep

zBret beats Nick and both of you guys beat me (I forgot about the Scout Car spare).

With the exception of removing axles, what two 1960's models can be unassembled as fast as Lesney assembled them?
