I was worried that this could be a recast in an original box.
This photo:
appears to have been copied from another source by the seller. I already had it saved on my PC. I'm not sure where I got it from. This would be a good sign that other grey versions exist. Hopefully they are not recasts!
Knowing that the 2 of you had legitimate versions of a related kit in different colors is reassuring.

I have wanted this kit for years. I balked at not paying $290(?) when it was originally released. When I changed my mind it had already sold out. I've regretted it ever since. I've been looking on eBay for a few years now but the auctions have always gone for way too much than I can afford. There have been a lot of the prepainted version appearing lately. Maybe this model version has slipped through the cracks. I put a bid in for this not expecting to win. If it turns out to be an original then I guess I just got lucky.
For those who are interested. These are all pictures of 1 model.
