Yes the pink Gruesome is the model I am hoping for, just to find a standard model with amber Windows would be nice.
I do have a pink version but it has red interior with clear Windows.
Sorry to the rest, most of the other models are hard to tell until I get them.

Pre productions can be found in pink with clear and amber windows as shown below, also with red interior. There is a very good chance in my opinion that this is a pre pro because someone would have to have repainted a rare model with amber glass which would not make sense.

Very happy, finally a model with amber windows. Missing the front engine, but I am sure I have a spare for display.
This latest one is very late, a few casting differences from my other pink version. Colour is a more deeper pink and thick paint.

Well done Jason, very nice. The only pinks I'd heard of were pre-pros so if this is late is it a colour trial or are the changes later on in the pre-pro process?

Thank you very happy with this one Rob, I will check this model John against a standard model. This one may well be a colour trial . J
