Very nice kit and congrats. That said, I'd like to see some pics of your "tiger green pearl" kit. Never heard of that finish (I'm very dumb when it comes to Lud's....and a lot of other stuff, too).

PS - You need to use a flash, a faster lens or faster shutter speed, so you can post some clear pics. I bet your "Champ's" are gorgeous in person.

I went through all my Pearl cats and the first appearance of anything green was in 1980. There is a Tiger Eye, but it is not green. Not sure what you might have there.

Looks like a 1969 very "turned" Gold Grain Pearl to my eyes.

Oops. I misread your kits. Thought the "Tiger" was a Ludwig wrap. Anywho, that's a cool one. Looks like McJ nailed the finish identity. Nice.
