@rich-sufficool Yes, she is and I feel very fortunate to have found her, and a seller willing to negotiate. He had it listed for a few months, so I think he was ready to let her go. He has other great models for sale, so after I replenish my model fund I will revisit this seller.
Here is the only pic I found of the 1:1 with her top down:

@rich-sufficool Yes, I have that photo. I did not like the colors they used.

Congrats! It's ALWAYS nice when everything works out as, or BETTER, than expected. 😀 😀 😀

@gdh Those colors were better suited for the Technicolor process back then.

Here I was believing the seller in the Middle East was asking a bunch for this model, and look what I found in the USA:
I admit I do like the color for this model, but it's not the original, which is what I wanted for my group.
