Tk.3 Airplanes

This is a reprint of the Russian printing originally issued on 29 April 1989. The new printing is on the left and the upper image in the blow-up above the stamps. The paper is much whiter, there is less detail in the stamp and the values seen slightly larger and darker. Additionally, the name of the country at the bottom is smaller than on the Russian printing.
10 Sixty Dome Mosque
The image on the far right is the Security Press Corporation, Bangladesh printing of the 60 Dome Mosque stamp. The others are shown for comparison as it is not easy for many collectors to notice the differences. A problem is created when only an image is shown of either the Bradbury reprint, or the Asher printing. It is often not possible to know which one is being shown. This is a common occurence in the internet auctions.

Tk.4 Chittagong Port – gray-blue

The Chittagong Port stamp was redesigned and reprinted. Note that the vertical text in the left side panel is now in the middle of the stamp, as opposed to the top in the 1992 stamp. Also the vertical writing in the right panel is now reversed and reads down. There are also differences in the size of the numbers and the text and the image itself is slightly larger, as is the overall stamp. The original Kniga (Russian) printing is on the right.
