NJ's listing quotes baseplate colour option as "gloss green". Is that what this one is? Or is this turqouise?

Hi tandyfan

is a normal lighter green ( turkqouise ) Base for me, rarer is the darker green or metallicgreen.

Cheers Mathias

The light green base on this model comes in two distinctive shades, a brighter and a duller one (same as on the 41c Ford GT).

I have tried to show the difference in this picture (from my website), but it is much more obvious in reality:

So if the base colour is described as "gloss green", this may mean that it is the brighter rather than duller shade. I am unable to say which of the two is more or less common.

This base colour on this model is normally called "green"; I believe "turquoise" is just a synonym for it.
