Just been checking out the Bombadier pics in readiment for my custom.

There appears to be 3 versions tho ? ! ?

V1 straight arm / old style crotch ( blue )
V2 straight arm / old style crotch ( grey )
V3 swivel arm / new style crotch ( grey ) black squares on boots

This poses a dilemma now on how to do my custom ????????????

The V1 and V2 pics are both by Dave, so I imagine it's just lighting. I'd go with the grey that matches Ron Conners' pics.

Good spot on the boots!

yeah, it's the same figure in the first two pics. There was only one that I found there.

And the shoulder pins are chrome in the third and look painted in 1 and 2. It's possible one is a repaint as a prototype whilst the other is a test run or a second painted prototype

The last guy looks like a production model. Not seeing any paint run or anything.

According to Ron Conners, the black squares on his boots are scanner shadow.
