Sometimes, the only way to REALLY find out.........?
Model supplied in clear, folded plastic carton, with instruction booklet forming box-top image. All plastic sprues (except clear) are now sprayed matt green (close to a medium Russian Green) and/or matt black, depending if they are upper body/interior/wheel parts or chassis/engine/drive parts (some sprues multi-finished with different parts green or black). All contents are otherwise identical to UA72051 (sprues, tyres, photo-etch and decals).

Has anyone any information on these PP prefix 'Pre-painted' releases? I have seen these going at a cheaper retail price than their more conventional non-painted versions - I am not a lazy painter, but I am one for saving a bit of money!! Any information would be appreciated please.
