Not 100% convinced about this one, but I cannot find anything wromg with it either, so it's currently catalogued as a colour trial. Wheels are 10 x 4.5 mm, 5 slot, from moulds B4, H50, H22, H31.

It does look nice in this shade of green, what's it like compared to the #75 ferrari

It's a really curious, rich colour and, to my eyes, not really a pure green. The colour balance in the photographs isn't bad, but in real life the car is both greener and blacker (I hope that makes sense).

Hugh, the paint finish to me looks nothing like the Ferrari green. Is there any indication of any primer under the top coat??
I hate to suggest it but i think this may be a repaint IMHO.

I have my doubts too, but there's nothing I can put my finger on.

Just a thought could it possibly be Brazilian?
Is it a colour used on other models

Hugh is there any glue residue evident on the base to suggest that a label may have been removed??

It is a non-standard colour and there does not appear to be any glue residue on the base.
As I said before, I have my doubts about this model (although I am unsure why - must be something in my subconcious), and it may well be a high quality repaint.
