Default What Colour

With many variants some limited edition and some too common what colour looks the most realistic on this defender.
Keen to know as I don’t have the choice to view these in the store.

The dark green with white on top or the navy blue with white top. Both in a matte finish. Those are a couple if my preferences.

I have the gray body. I think it looks realistic based off real builds I've seen. The yellow is a bit bright in my opinion. The red looks good and shows the details well.

I would love to see the blue and green.

I think any of the bodies look great if you take the time to mask off and paint the roof white. Doesn't take a ton of work and really makes the body pop.

I like the grey better and if you ever decide to paint it on the outside the scrapes will show grey and look like metal. Definitely painting the top white adds to the true scale look

The adventure paint scheme is pretty popular.

I shot my grey one with white on the roof and then after masking all windows shot the whole thing in matte clear - really made a huge difference.

Looks pewter grey now, with the shine taken off the metallic also was subdued.

That’s what I found too through the video’s, initially I thought I wanted to get the yellow because it looked sporty and also my daughter’s favourite colour.
I had always dismissed the grey but in a recent video I watched the gray looked nice.
I never knew there was a green, thought it was a custom job.
Seems that I might have to decide between a red and a blue as those are the only ones in stock.
