Villiers de Vos AuthorAll the sprues, including the clear parts and decals were packed in one plastic bag.
Low part count.

Plastic in general very brittle.

Villiers de Vos AuthorThank you Paul. I agree. It was a tip picked up from one of our Scalemates.

Villiers de Vos AuthorPaul, 90% of my stash are vintage kits 🙂
Fortunately, a lot can be disguised as weathering and battle damage.

Nick DragoneDefinitely will be watching. I have this kit in my stash from decades ago. I remember buying it for the box art ! Might be time for it to hit the bench.
