LT10 was an odd one for me. I received mine in a roundabout fashion from my good friend and schoolmate. He bought it around 1973 when we found a discount store in Liverpool selling dead stock. I can date this accurately as I first came across them while visiting my mum in hospital. I also got the Corgi Starfighter Jet Car the same day and from a shop across the road, which oddly enough is still trading. At the time there was only one LT10 and my mate bought it. I coveted it for years and it was some time after, that he lost interest and I wangled it off him.
On the card, it seems to show the vehicle carrying a rocket, but the actual thing is a lift from the vehicle in the Green Slime.
At the time, I was unaware of the connection and most unimpressed with the gaudy orange finish, so out came the Humbrol Gloss Black and to my eternal future shame and damnation... 'nuff said.

Personally, I think your color scheme looks good. The purist in me does shudder slightly at the idea of repainting the toy. If it's any comfort I did similar things with early parts of my collection.
