Variation Summary
Choosing one for your collection
Check the gold wheel faces at their fine outer edges; worn plating is easier to miss than a chip in the body paint.
Collector questions
Are the two green releases the same shade?
No. HKG81 is metallic lime with gold lace wheels. JJL69 is forest green with white FC3 wheels.
