GENERAL INFO

Released towards the end of the Major Packs era, the long 4B Fruehauf Tipper was only packaged in an E2 box, showing the model with an industrial background. The same box would later be used for the King Size model when it was transferred to that range. The end flaps are different, one showing the rear end while the other focuses on the suspension. NEW MODEL can be found on both.

The box, quite long, has 285 X 43 X 60 dimensions.

RARITY

As the model did not last for long in the MP range, it is a bit scarce but still not too difficult to find. It is, however, much scarcer than its King Size counterpart.
