Red Shadows - black and red gloves
Hiya guys. Hope all is cool with y'all on this sunny weekend - nice to be inside on the PC, d'oh! Okay, I really should know this and I'm sure this has been answered elsewhere (but I can't find it) so I was hoping someone could answer a query for me please?

Basically, what's the difference between the red and black gloved variants of the Red Shadows? I always thought that the black gloves were for (Red Vulture) but I've just noticed that I've got around 25% black glove versions in my soon-to-be-sold Red Army. I know there are a few differences with the eye designs, but was curious if there was anything signficant or rare with the black-gloved dudes? Any help would be appreciated, as I can't find the answer online.


Cheers, Steve.

PS: I bet after all that, it IS and I've just somehow got 4-5 versions of him down the years... but I'd love to know either way.

Steve,

you are right the black glove ones are Red Vulture.

Awesome, cheers matey. Of course I knew that was going to be the case.... staring at me right in the face! Thanks for clarifying - I can now at least put each with the Shadowtraks I'm selling (he didn't go to Shadowtrak advanced driving school for nothing you know).

Thanks again, Steve

I think some red gloved shadows were also packaged with the Shadowtrak, also some black gloved vultures have been sold carded as Red Shadows.

Im sure someone else will clarify this

The archive is a very good guide for colouring and painting.

Spooky ! so is it a friday afternoon job or are these quite common ?

First one I've seen. But in fairness not been looking long. The "shad moc variant obsession" is only a relatively recent illness. Now for a "shadow rossa" (Italian carded one) and I'm getting about done!
