I've seen very pale orange before but only with fat wheels and wide arches.

Is that front rivet original ?

Looks a bit iffy.....

Repaint? Rivet looks really shit too much paint in the rivet imho

Who is the seller?

It's a model of my brother. He has bought them in a box on a flee market.Had bought several models.
I have had the model in hand and it looks real to me. No self made.
Looks like a trial after the pre pro. Color iight yellow-orange.

I would love this to be a colour trial, my concern is with the rivet, there is so much paint in the centre of the rivet and the outer edge does not look as though it has been folded over in the same manner my #56 models are.

A short run of colour trial models can be created on the usual flow line at the end of a shift, these would then be very close in finish to full production models, as they would pass through all the same processes. Colour trial models done by hand, may well have surplus paint in the rivet recesses as the bodies would be painted in hand. A really good clear close up picture of the rivet would be good now.
