I like that these have a number of obvious casting differences to the production model, as well as the nice selection of colours.

Cheers,

The yellow one in the picture also has the "standard issue" casting features absent from the others in the picture Timbo. Front wing casting, fuel filler cap, bars on the rear spoiler etc.

Same here, everyone looking for a yellow or blue one. The rare ones.
Still after 40 years unseen models come out of the dark.
Saw more pre pro models on the auction but this model is my favorite.
The fact is that the model has so much difference with the normal model.
