GENERAL INFO

The imposing 9A Interstate Double Freighter required a very large box. Both D and E boxes require quite some space for display but are also very beautiful. The D box comes in two distinct variations, the first showing the model with a profile view while the second is more of a front view in which the model is larger in the picture.

The E2 box depicts the truck on a highway with a large city in the background, with several buildings and skyscrapers.

The oversized dimension for D and E boxes is 165 X 37 X 93, and this makes these boxes the tallest except for K17A F1 box.

RARITY

The first D box is harder to find for this model.
