I also purchased a Proto in celeste, but I can't show it yet, because I did not reach the minimal amount of posts here to do so.
It looks exactly like the one on the first Page of Bianchigirll 's post #96 . It has size 61 cm and was intended to do a swap against a smaller one.
See you, guys.

There were several other Protos I documented which aren't listed here in this thread. As soon as I reach 10 posts I will try to share them successively.

the steering tube might be a few centimeters to short but there are ways to overcome this issue.
It even has the correct color with respect to your frame

As I used to match silks from archived examples for ceremonial robes and my wife being a restorer of oil pantings, we come to the same conclusion, however, representation on the screen + lighting +whatever variable can mislead us but.... resprayed wethinks.
