Has anyone heard of the "Rare Black Ladder" it seems to have the right number of rungs and the little side extensions to keep it in place?

When making posts like the above, would Members please remember to add at least one photograph. Failure to do so means there is a danger the whole topic will become meaningless once Ebay delete the listing.

Hi all, Never seen this model with a black ladder before. I have just asked the seller whether it looks as if it has been hand painted or sprayed Pete

Hi All, just found out that it is black plastic, may have been a one off or the ladder may have come off of another model Pete
Re: Rare Black Ladder?
There's something odd going on: look how deformed the rungs are between the raised parts of the roof.
Re: Rare Black Ladder?
So perhaps it's not the correct fit and has been squashed in under finger pressure. Maybe it's flimsier than the white ladders that we know. Can someone buy it and do a side by side ladder comparisonIdris wrote:There's something odd going on: look how deformed the rungs are between the raised parts of the roof.

(Thanks for contacting the seller Pete)

Re: Rare Black Ladder?
Looks like the ladder is too wide for that section of the roof and has had to be forced in.

No, the Blaize buster is a double ladder design... Ghosthunter.petethesweet wrote:Hi All just wondering whether the ladder came off a superfast blaze buster Pete
Re: Rare Black Ladder?
Good suggestion Pete but unfortunately it couldn't be as on close inspection it is a completely different ladder on Blaze Buster, it is a moulded double ladder with rounded ends for attaching to model as photo shows.petethesweet wrote:Hi All just wondering whether the ladder came off a superfast blaze buster Pete
