Retail Display Box Which Displays Well! I’m not a Dealer. I hope some of these vintage model kits will go to fellow collectors, and some to modelers who will build them. This is a vintage model kit in the original factory box. The box is in very nice condition with excellent graphics. This is NOT A’reissued’ kit. It is being advertised. Simply because the box has been opened, and is. For the same reason. FYI: Vintage model kits were (originally) all open-boxed. Originally, boxes & parts were not sealed, similar to their not always having UPC coding. Factory display box has been opened, I felt that it was necessary for me to add. Carefully examine the enclosed. Everything in the box is shown in the photographs. It has remained safely in my possession for longer than I can remember. The vintage Model Kits in my collection sat safely on shelves in my shop. They haven’t been handled and’poked-thru’. Unless stated in the description, the contents of vintage model kits in my collection haven’t been started, parted, painted, altered or assembled. My kits avoided the trauma. It’s time for this vintage kit to find a new home with a Collector who will appreciate it as much as I did, and/or someone who has the time and necessary modeling skills required to. Before going any further: Sorry, due to technicalities, as well as, the fragile nature of this Item. Is available on this Item. These Vintage model kits will keep getting rarer and more valuable over the years; they are only original once. Lack the detail and more importantly, the diverse custom/race content of vintage originals. Like the cars they’re modelled after, they’re only’original’ once. While I’m fairly confident that the model kit includes everything you will need to build the model. Please take time to examine the hi-res. That document the condition of the factory box and its contents. As I photograph each kit, I assemble things together as a group, as if I were planning to build the model. If I’m aware of any missing parts, that will be noted in the description, or the kit will be advertised as a’parts box’. Honesty is the best policy. Each parts-tree, bag, or individual part that is in the original. Retail box has been photographed for your personal inspection in order to document the box & contents. What you see in the. Photos is exactly, what you’ll get. Although the kit is in very good condition, and the majority of parts remain in factory-sealed bags, the kit is advertised as an. Open Box’ Item,’As-Is’ and’as-photographed’. If you ever get to the point where you have over 6,000 model cars, you too will find a need for some form of inventory control just like I did. These are Avery’labels’ and they can be removed without damage to the box if you take a. Hair-dryer and try and be patient until. The adhesive warms in 3-5 min. And if you pull. They will peel off with minimal, or NO damage. I made sure of that BEFORE I started using them. If you patiently spend 3-5 minutes with a hair-dryer, all will be well. Lastly, these’labels’ come off easier than the paper price tags that retail stores used before the dawn of the. When I placed the labels, I chose the end where the box was least attractive because sometimes those price stickers or other damage had already marred the factory box. Please remember that these are vintage model kits; and similar to the vintage autos they’re modelled after, because nothing that’s. Is going to be perfectly perfect. Paper boxes, decals and printed instructions may fade from exposure to light. A 40-year-old paper decal will discolor or get brittle simply from age. That possibility exists because of the age of decals in this kit. These are common issues that we’ve all had to work around, and experienced modelers are aware that decal sheets and instruction sheets can be reproduced. Plastic parts can warp, discolor, or stain, just as rubber parts can (and will) distort, stiffen up, or soften. Will know how to repair or work around these common issues with older model kits. Plastic’glass’ and body parts may have microscopic scuffing due to movement in box. In most cases, plastic can be polished-out, or the parts end-up covered with paint. Like you, I did not pack the box at the factory; even when new, a model kit could be missing a part, or it could have an extra part. Remember: people pack boxes, and being human, people sometimes made mistakes. This kit is mainly intended for skilled builders. Who have accumulated extra’small parts’ over the years, so that if something is/isn’t there, they probably have a solution to the issue, or suitable replacement. Where both parties benefit. If you seek perfection, I understand your reasoning. But please, do us both a favor and seek your perfection, elsewhere. Having voluntarily provided the above information to a prospective purchaser.
