While a few "customer" cars were certainly blue, the team cars did not run in blue.. Strombecker molding one in blue has little bearing on reality, they produced Chaparrals' in both red and yellow Cheers Chris Walker Edited June 19, 2020 by Chrisguyw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosco01 Posted June 20, 2020 Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 Thanks Chris - all news to me.... I became a Wiki expert after reading two paragraphs.... as many Wiki experts become. I suspect, the available material stock may for the molding machine may have had a great influence on color... some models, the colour had to be almost correct... who could imagine a boxed "British Racing Green" Mini in anything but dark green.... Today, most models are painted... the substrate really doesn't have any bearing in colour choice... Model looks great, Chris.. so, what is the next one on the list? frats, Rosco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
