GENERAL INFO

With six major variations, the 10B is an interesting model for its boxes. The first release uses the same box as the 10A, while the second, a B1 size 2 box, has a sharper picture and lighter trees, and some yellow on the front.

The first B2 box shows a longer model, which is also a bit lower in the picture. It was replaced by a very short model version which is also sharper and has shorter numbers.

A third B2 box flowed and this time, it’s a medium size model with shorter numbers.

Finally, a B4 box in size 3 was made. This one is odd as one of the end flaps shows the model reversed and reads “01” ! It also uses the first B2 variation for the picture, stretched to a size 3. One side is also a bit different from the other, as model and numbers are more to the left of picture.

RARITY

The second variation that has some yellow on the front seems to be a bit less often seen, but there is no real rare box for this model.
