Recondo Variations

Post by Chopper »

I just nabbed an SA MKII and Recondo. I noticed that this recondo is different to my US complete one. No Recondo patch on his left arm (and no evidence of there ever being one) and the colours are different. His hat is more a Z force green while the US one is olive green, browns are darker on the UK one and the UK chest skin pigmentation is a more natural colour too.

Anyone else notise varaitaions between UK and US and/or different batches?

there were 2 camo variations with the US release, I think the UK issued rifle is also a brighter green.

Probably obvious to all those that have both, but the AF one has a taller boxy bit in front of the seat.

Its more than a colour variant, the mold for the top half is quite different. As you can see, it is raised in comparison to,

Bit tricky to take pics while I'm lying in bed, but I will endeavour to next week. Camo is the same, hat plastic and colour are the biggest difference.

I was hanging for a AF SA as it is the only true Palitoy series 3 vehicle. 3 quid was a bargain too.
