GENERAL INFO
28B B and C boxes basically used two different drawing patterns: the left-front view and the view from above. The first box designed for this model used the same illustration as 28A, but put on a size 3 box, meaning the blue rectangle was visible. This B3 variation was soon replaced by the same illustration stretched to fit the size 3, B4 box. It was also used for a B5 box as well, but another illustration would also be used, showing the model from above. The illustration is actually more faithful to the real model. It was used for B4 and B5 sub types too.
The same two drawings would be used the same way for C boxes.
The D box, available in both D1 and D2 sub types, show the model in yellow with dark wheels. C and D boxes were also in size 3.
RARITY
The B4 and B5 boxes using the old drawing are a bit less common.
