GENERAL INFO

The 4A Ruston Bucyrus Power Shovel was released in B, C and D boxes. The B and C box basically illustrate the model with the same drawing, a red model with a yellow upper part cab.. It was released in B2 and B4 sub-types.

The D type boxes have two different variations: first one has green threads, and the mode is straight, while the second has green tracks (a little paler) and is slightly turn to the left.

All boxes have a 111 X 32 X 58 size.

RARITY
