GENERAL INFO

The bigger version of the RW69B Hatra Shovel was released in 1965 in an E2 box. The picture depicts the model in dark orange, but with a silver shovel. The end flaps have the NEW MODEL on them.

Two different F2 boxes were later made, one with a construction site and a plane flying over the scene. The second one has a dam construction site. Both boxes have the same back, consisting in having the model shoveling dirt in an unknown red truck.

RARITY

There is not enough information to clearly identify one box rarer than the others. One of the F2 boxes is probably scarcer, but… which one?!
