As can be seen in the pic, the axle on this BP tanker was not threaded through both of the eyelets when the axle was riveted leaving one end of the axle free to flap about, this one was sent in by Jason Roper, Thanks for sharing Jason. photo jas-nm5_zpskxhdftjj.jpg

Extra lables normally get applied to approximately the correct area because they were fitted in place by a machine but it is not always the case as can be seen by this F1 Racing car displaying its racing number '91' on the upside down lable.

Another one that has been borrowed from Facebook. It shows a Piston Popper with the rear axle with large diameter tyres mounted at the front and the front axle with small tyres mounted at the rear which is a fairly common oops on this model.
Its from the collection of Raed M Ammari,

When I first saw this one I thought someone had photographed a dog turd for me, but no its a deformed wheel which never molded properly due to lack of plastic, Its from the spares box of Gerrit (ecclesley) from the forum, Thanks for sharing Gerrit. photo ecclesleywheel1_zpsnato4l2c.jpg
