Re: 1982 Diamond Back Harry Leary Turbo
Here's a better pic of the paint also. It's really hard to pick up. The best comparison I have is that it looks a lot like that homo vampire from Twilight when he's caught in the sunshine....

Thanks, just building and collecting.
I'm aiming for a full Koizumi built collection with every model they produced for DB between 79-84
Only need a Silver Streak and I'll have all the framesets.
