Color variation Shelby kit?

[Rick R]

I have recently been spending a little too much on old kits and builtups on that big website...

It has led me to an observation and a question.

I have been a model builder since I was nine years old, never gave myself a lot of credit for 'killer builds' because of time limitations and my basic laziness. I've seen the best at the events I've been a part of, and I give no competition to anyone other than myself...

However...

After buying (and seeing up close) some of the kits I've found, especially stuff built decades ago by who knows what eight year old, I'm flat amazed at how well I was doing by comparison! I somehow avoided the trap of using three bottles of clashing shades of PLA enamel, every part in the box, all the decals, and a whole tube of glue to not-quite-finish a model...

'Yea, ME!!!' (Fat lot of good it does all these years later!)

BUT... after seeing all the kits I've seen and built, one that I got today has me stumped! I have never seen anything like it... It's an unbuilt, early reiassue AMT/Ertl '68 Shelby GT500 molded in a deep metallic green... not a BAD metallic green, just an unexpected metallic green, and one that will be covered with something else pretty soon.

Anyone ever seen one of these?
