GENERAL INFO
Taking over the #1 spot in 1964, the beautiful 1B HOVERINGHAM TIPPER TRUCK is a larger version of the 17D truck in the RW range. Its first package is a D box with NEW MODEL and the yellow target. There are also two versions of the E box, E1 and E3, and the front and back shows the model in action with an additional model showing the rear of the truck, unloading its charge.
The model was also released in F2 and F4 boxes. The F2 features the Hatra Shovel working together with the truck on its inside panel, and more teamwork on the back. The F4 has the model on cruising on an overpass on the hang tag whole the back shows it at work on construction site.
RARITY
The late F4 box is a bit less common for this model and the NEW MODEL D box is also a bit scarce.
