Finishing on the case is a bit of a challenge
Chances VSF/SBF will make this one are good!

In short, it turned out pretty good overall.
Of the rough stuff, I would note that they painted not only the "leaf" of the second hand yellow again, but also the leg up to the middle. I haven't seen it in person, but I suspect that the green lume is more "lime" again, as it was on the PAM961 VSF. The finish is not as skillful, and in most photos it seems darker, but this doesn't seem critical, given that the satin finish is correctly applied to all parts. The only thing is that VSF should have left the same paint on the CG pins and roller, and also cleaned the CG lever on the sides, not just on the outer part. Otherwise, I don't see any big problems, although I should at least get my hands on the GEN to evaluate the finish.
