This looks to be a Killalure in NT Special colours that has had a hard life.  What marks it as a prototype? Regards, Ken.

The Terminators have evolved a little since their inception. The first ones did have an aluminium bib, the next one (Terminator 2) had a  plain poly bib, then the next had an embossed bib and the latest ones have a ribbed and embossed bib. The painting patterns have also changed over the years.

Based on the original Nilsmaster Spearhead from about 1970, upgraded about 30 years ago with a deeper set bib. There are a lot of copies about, some work better than others.
