Collector details

The 852 has a metal body and base with separate plastic fenders, windshield and interior. On this release, compare Red and Blackwall (BW) together; the same casting was issued in close color and component combinations.

Check the tire sidewall, molded fender color and underside country stamp. The clear windshield and projecting fenders are common condition points: look for cracks, missing parts, bent edges and rubs at the fender tips.
