Something about this model didn't look right to me when it first came out. I think it was that the blue number in front looked like it was two different shades of blue. Recently I saw this car for sale on Ebay by Mint Models and I decided to go for it. I'm glad I did. It's a great model in my opinion and the numbers aren't two shades of blue. It's one of those optical illusions involving the juxtaposition of background colors. Something I learned about in school and forgot about. Some photos exaggerate it. Even these a bit.
