I did a deal a few weeks ago with a member in L.A. We traded for some decals, he got my decals 3 days later from Chicago. But his are still MIA. I think some Post office locations are harder hit with COVID. Which means anything listed as second class postage, or non essential goes when there is room for it ? 

That sounds positive if you know what i mean. It was second class and i also ordered some decals from another guy same time and they are not here yet either.

its just an empty box that has arrived.

 

just kidding here we are....

everything is as yellowed as youd expect from a 43 year old kit...

For a 43 yr old kit I'm impressed at how straight the body and decals do look. 

The decals are great, just very yellow in the flesh.

the body is just a bit twisted on one side but nothing really, easily straightened

Behold! The mystical van appears!

Great to see it has finally turned up Paul, did the seller sit on it and row it across the Atlantic?

Amazing eh Craig? I’d given up on it to be honest.

Now will I get time enough to build it?
