GENERAL INFO

Taking over for 11A is 11B ERF Petrol Tanker. Slightly longer than its predecessor, 11B was only packaged in size 3 boxes. The first one has the blue rectangle and the narrow “N”. It’s the only B2 box done for this model. The following box, a B3, is similar although the model seems lower in the picture. Also, the “N” is larger, although the number overall seems a little smaller.

The same depiction of the model would be later used for the first set of B4/B5 boxes. They use basically the same picture used for the B3 box but stretched to fit the size 3 boxes. The second set of B4/B5 boxes shows a smaller model with a view from above instead of t the front view.

The two same B4/B5 sets were then used for the two different existing C boxes.

Finally, the model was made available in D1 and D2 boxes, showing the red model and silver wheels, with silver front grille.

All sizes were 3.

RARITY

The C box with the front view is probably the less common, but is not known as a rare box.
