13d Dodge Wreck Truck “my brother has a great brother” (-:

Post by Diecast »

I would like to share with you a few information about the 13d reverse color models. There are some differences between the genuine variation with thin boom (A) and the factory “fake“ reverse painted model from 1970 (B). Model A has a gray hook and model B has a red hook.

Another small difference is in ejector rings. Model A has the concave ejector ring, model B has the convex ejector ring.

Perhaps only a small note to the yellow painting on the model B. I think the model was made a little secretly, illegally and hastily, so there was no time for primer and therefore the yellow painting is dull.
