Tractorboy Rodger has been busy collecting errors, He sent in several very interesting pictures this year including this 29b Austin Cambridge, It looks like the dark metallic green paint ran out while the model was still being painted, Nice one Rodger, Thanks for sharing. |
And now we have a Major pack error with this M1b BP Autotanker having several extra letters printed onto the decal, How they got there is a complete mystery as the extra letters are not associated with this particular model. photo courtesy George Marshall. |
Now this one is from Forum member and toy dealer Tim Leathers aka tjlglass (nee bettyswollocks), It shows a Y1 Allchin Traction engine fitted with one rare straight tread wheel and one normal diagonal tread wheel, I guess we could call it a half rare, Nice one Tim, Thanks for sharing. |
Now we have a later model of a Lamborghini with a missmatched pair of wheels, one in silver the other is gold, It was sent in by Mike (& Nico) who was last seen at the top of an Austrian mountain clutching a battered Matchbox toy, Thanks for sharing Mike (wherever you are!). |
Reg (Fixer) strikes again with this lovely casting error. The rear side window is filled in by a piece of sprue that should have been removed by tumbling but clearly this did not happen, Reg, What have I told you about getting your tumbling done properly. Thanks Reg, Its a very nice piece. |
Yet another one from Reg (Fixer) but this time with a reversed front wheel. Nice one Reg. I never knew you had a soft spot for ratty old VW vans, Good on you man, And thanks for sharing. |
And here we have another severe case of chunks of metal missing from a roof, I think it is due to poor metal flow but no doubt it will be blamed on acid rain or tinworm. This photo was sent in by Forum member Tandyfan, Thanks Tandyfan. |
This unusual double labeling on a 32c BP Tanker is not seen very often, The photo was sent in by toy trader and Forum member Rob Freeman, Very nice Rob, Thanks for sharing. |
Just like buses, you wait hours for one and then two show up at the same time. But thats hardly surprising as this one was found by Forum member Brad Pittiful who is also known as Dan by his friends. Dan has a reputation for finding rare and unusual toys for pennies, Thanks for sharing Dan. |
