The WS model is based on the Phillips 66 station that used to sit on Route 66 near Red Oak, Missouri. There was an article in the 10/09/91 L.A. Times which had a photo of it. I would say that it's a soft jade green... like a NYC or PC boxcar green. The roof, door, and window trim are all tomato soup red (to match the hanging sign out front). So are the pumps and misc accessories. The chimney is grey stone - and there is a dark stovepipe protruding from it. The sign post appears to be black or very dark gray, as are the tops of the pumps. I never finished building mine.... but one nice touch I added was removing the metal area where the "glass" on the pump tops would be... and substituting the clear protector material that is on a new 0 paint brush. I cut them to fit, and filled it half full with a wood varni***hat "yellows". Looks like liquid gasoline. Then glue the metal tops back on. Mike
