46a Query

[Idris]

Did anyone else notice this listing on Ebay?
Obviously the wheels have been overpainted, but how about the body? It looks very dark to me. Is this some kind of optical/camera effect (don't those tend to lighten colours), a repaint, a partricularly dark example, or is it a new colour?
Did anyone on here win it? (I would have bid myself, but it finished whilst I was at the NEC toyfair.)

I saw this one too. About a year ago I received a model from this seller that didn't match the colour in the photo (that was blue also but I must add there was no problem with a refund). He does sell quite a few older repainted models and as far as I can see he does flag them up honestly. The rivet colour here matches the body although the axle ends look almost domed at both ends. So this one is a query, we'll have to see whether anyone here did buy it.
