GENERAL INFO

Released in May 1968, 21D was first released in the late E4R box, with a NEW MODEL end flap box. The model is shown, with an arrow above the barrel to show the rotation.

Followed a first F2 box, with the usual ALP bottom lettering. A second F2 box was released, this time with the “LPC” lettering and finally, a third one with “MRT1”. It is one of the rare model released in F boxes to have three different bottom lettering configuration.

RARITY

No real rarer box stands out for this model. F2 boxes are however fun to collect, with the MRT1 being probably the less common.
