I purchased this model from ebay about 18 months ago. I don't have the original photo unfortunately. It was advertised as original and I asked the seller if it had been repainted. His response was a very definite NO!
This model interested me because although it originally came in two-tone, cream over red, the cream was always painted first and then the red mask sprayed over the top. I had often suspected that it would be possible for a model to miss the red spray process.
Fortunately, I only paid about 9GBP for this little gem. I kept it to remind myself how stupid I was! I should have asked for more photo's, but the idea that it could be rare drove me to be careless! Lesson learned!!
