GENERAL INFO

Very similar to 41A, 41B actually used a different box from its predecessor, as the blue rectangle box shows a model where we can clearly see wires on wheels and the model numbers are closer to model and bigger. The background is also a bit darker.

The drawing was then stretched to fit the size 3 box, but the artwork is the same as the late box for 41A. This was used for B4 and B5 boxes. A final B5 box was used, with a model higher in the picture, no background and model numbers away from model.

No C box were ever made for 41B .

The D box shows the green model with wire wheels, but dark. D1 and D2 sub-types were both made.

RARITY

The first B3 box is less common. All other boxes are equally common.
