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?

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

There's something odd going on: look how deformed the rungs are between the raised parts of the roof.

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 comparison

(Thanks for contacting the seller Pete)

Looks like the ladder is too wide for that section of the roof and has had to be forced in.

Hi All just wondering whether the ladder came off a superfast blaze buster Pete

No, the Blaize buster is a double ladder design... Ghosthunter.

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.
