Joe,
Painted versions are avialable, but the first production run / delivery is only White and Red. You will have to wait for the second shipment to get a painted one. Perhaps by spring? And I agree with you can always count on advertised weight to be conservative. I'll be sure to tell you what I get.

Steve,
Since I am getting a plain one, I am planning on painting it. I was trying to decide on single stage paint or base coat / clear coat. Jury is still out on that one, but I will let you know what I do. Otherwise these models are all painted in the molds as you know....
