I'm not sure about that green.

Here are some vintage photos of the model before she was "restored" in the '90s.

Here's a thread dedicated to researching what was done to it in the '90s.

Colors and lights are funny, huh? That picture in your first link of the saucer from the side, looks exactly like what I saw yesterday. UV illumination & analysis has apparently confirmed that that's definitely the original paintjob. In fact, this article has a photo of that, plus confirmation that the very guy posting those pics, Doug Drexler, is on the advisory committee for this restoration.

I can't say for sure that they'll get rid of the 90s awful job, but I think it's likely. Dr. Weitekamp said near the end of her talk "I am well aware of the strong opinions in the fan community about the 90s restoration".
