Physical Details to Compare
The lighter apple-green Spectraflame is cataloged separately from the darker green release. Use the shade name as a guide and confirm the body, base, wheels, windows, and numbered sticker together. Check both engine projections for damage, look through the blue glazing to record the interior shade, and compare the front and rear wheel sizes. The underlying paint may be difficult to identify if the surface is faded or heavily chipped.
The numbered side roundel is a sticker feature, not a unique body-color code. Original cars may have a sticker number from 1 through 9; missing or damaged stickers should not be mistaken for a different casting.
Original Spoilers Packaging
Original examples could include a pre-applied numbered door sticker, an extra sheet of owner-applied stickers, and a metal or plastic collectors button. Record what remains with the specific car or package; these additions do not change the casting number.
