The reason this set was a "sculpture" instead of a "model team" set is because
sculptures are under the "Lego Direct" umbrella, and therefore have some immunity
from that dastardly fellow in Billund that controls the colors that can be used
for any particular part. I doubt you would have seen red curved railings if this
set were a model team set.
