Awesome, my questions were based around the long box decal, and what if any could be derived by color or size. You are a wealth of knowledge sir, thank you!

Re: newbie on site, avid collector looking for answers and buy/sell/trade

I actually tried and found I didn't know how to get a pic up, but I'm just mobile for now so maybe I've gotta do it from a full site? Anyway, your info on the kits, as detailed as it is, is exactly what I needed to help piece this together. I've spoken to a camp "historian" at Camp Miakond...

Good stuff, the difference in the look of the domed wheels could just be the lighting difference.either way, really cool material you've got! Thanks again for sharing!

As long as I've been collecting I've only run into 2 cars with this set up, I actually purchased the 2nd one I found. Because of the oddity, because of the rarity, I have to think these are early.
