1c Dark Green.

The 1c models showing the 6mm and the 7mm rear wheels

Image

The 1d model has Plastic wheels, 1a-1b-1c have metal wheels.

Image

The 2nd base plate is secured by the rear axle, the same as the first base plate which has no hole in the base, like this one does.

Image

The 3rd base plate is secured by two rivits, and has part of the text under the canopy.

Image

Some of the boxes they came in.

Jonnijhuis beat to it when he put his two variations, so I will not add these to the 1c model.

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.

George,
Thank you for being willing to repost these threads.
They are a valuable quick resource particularly in conjunction with Nick's excellent variation guide.
Thank you both
Kurt
Happy hunting!

What, no one wants to show the step/bumper variations on the 1e?
It might be time to start my "Bucket List."

Hello Joe I would if I had that variation, but I have only got one #1e. If you have the one you mention may be you could show it for us all.

IIRC, there are three step/bumper variations. I probably have all three of them but they won't be pretty as they will be items from my beater box.

Those are shown on Nick's site anyway.

The only thing which is not shown there is the variation of slashes vs. backslashes on the cab base over the front axle:
