Just had to get the kings started with the amber light low loader and very early casting(which I will try and show the differences soon). J

I was unaware of a yellow beacon for this model. What model does the beacon come from or is this color molded just for the low loader?

Hi Jason,

I noticed that the model is without any windows. Any chance someone may have slipped in an amber light from a K-2? Bout the same size if I remember.
Certainly hope I'm mistaken.

Hi Jeff the model has clear windows, I think this is the very first run as it has many early casting details. Also a lot of artwork shows the amber light on this model. I will try and sort out photos.
regards jason

Hi Jason,

Many thanks for proving that I am in fact legally blind. Hope the photos load. I look forward to seeing them.
Excellent model.

Jeff

A K-2, of course (two amber beacons)! I knew it was probably from a model already using this beacon. I'd love to find one of these early castings. Any would make me happy; no beacon, amber beacon, clear windows or early casting details).
