Can Halla be far behind?<br /><br />If my fading memory is correct, there were 4 -5 of the Buckshot-colored Smoky models - as well as some slightly odd actual Buckshots - found in the Bentley's barrels at that model horse show. Of course, there may have been others that left the factory via other means. Each of the Smokeys' colors and patters was slightly different, looking very much like experiments to determine the perfect mix. All were darker than the Buckshot I acquire right after the model was released, though not necessarily as dark as some of the Buckshots I've seen subsequently. Mine was the freakiest looking of the Buckshot Smokeys as a result of an apparent attempt to incorporate electric blue(!!), which I consider a Sign he was meant to be mine :)LostInAn80'sFognoreply@blogger.com
