Variation Summary
Choosing one for your collection
Check the narrow red-and-blue striping and the exposed nose for scratches. The number 40 is the quickest way to separate it from HTF56.
Collector questions
Does the unpainted body mean a metal base?
No. JKX45 has an unpainted metal body and a royal-blue plastic base. Body finish and chassis material are separate details.
