Interesting display of colours on the Lime Green upper deck moulding. Wonder if its recycled plastics they used just for the sake of testing!

I just noticed the sprue casting left on the body side ( strange place for an injector, you would think it would be at the ends where hidden) and the green plastic must have been run after the use of red as its got red runs mixed in with the green.

Very nice Bob,
Must say I love these kits and any unfinished models and loose components. So much can be learnt from the insides of some of these castings and how well and over engineered many Lesney models are.
Stands to reason why many have lasted so long even with very rough play.
