blackbeard Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 What color is the Tyrone Malone bandag bandit should be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Black. The version the model kit is from the late 70's early 80's had a blue tint in the clear coat over the black so it shines a bit in blue in direct sunlight, the later versions are straight black.

Of course I am. ? Just kidding...but seriously, I have done a lot of research on "Tyrone" Malone's trucks and that's what I have found out about the color on the Bandit.

Force Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I'm envious. Malone were in Sweden under his first European Tour back in 1981 but the Malone "Circus" didn't go anywhere near where I live in the northern parts so I never saw the trucks live.
