GENERAL INFO

Packaged only in E type boxes, the 42B was first found showing a red model, likely a prototype, a color never released in mass production. The NEW MODEL E2 end flaps have a different illustration, showing suspension on one end and opening roof on the other. The same box was also made without the NEW MODEL.

Still in E2 sub-type, the box changed to show the usual blue model. This picture would be used for E3 and E4 box as well.

The E4R box shows the model with a slightly lighter shade of blue.

All boxes are size 5.

RARITY

Although the NEW MODEL red model box is a bit less common, it’s still an easy box to get.
