It doesn't come that colour you have to paint it yourself?

Now who wants to design a teeny fto ireland sticker for the windscreen?
Maud perhaps? Don't all rush at once...

I bought one a few years ago, its in the attic somewhere. The paint job will make or break it - I suggest spraying as opposed to brushing on the main colour.
