I saw this on Ebay this morning.

I seem to dimly recall some radical paint Destroyers... anyone else remember these. I think this one has been refinished it seems in very very nice shape for it's age if it isn't. The blue paint on the sides isn't that convincing.

It is a butchered DT-50. The neck plate indicates a build date of May 1979. There Destroyer II's were not produced until 1980, so I would say the neck plate came from another model. The X-series 1983-84 came with custom graphics, the DT-50 came in FR & IB only.

"Butchered" is a good word, Laaz !!

I'd like to add that NONE of the factory grafx were anywhere near that design.
