So this variant is pretty rare, and surprisingly there are a lot of collectors who still don't even know this one exists which I find fascinating, and even more fascinating I find is the complete mystery behind it and lack of any confirmed information on it whatsoever. There are only collectors theories behind why the helmet is painted blue underneath the other visor colours, such as the factory 'covering up a paint error'.. or 'preventing the red & black helmet colours from bleeding into the plastic'.
But all of these theories don't really make any sense, because if there was a paint error on the visor then the black & red paint layers would have easily covered up any paint error anyway considering that the black & red are very dark colours. And it seems there was never a factory error when iv'e looked at beaters for sale online, as the worn off paint around the visor and even underneath the blue paint does not show any other colours underneath.
Are there any other theories out there or confirmed info on this at all?.. it's a very mysterious variant with next to zero info on it online.
