Album info

Well, I knew what I was in for before I bought this kit. It's a Matchbox re-issue, I read all the reviews, sink marks, bad this & that. I knew what to expect.
I's not that it's a bad kit, it's actually pretty good for an old re-issue, I like it.
It's just another case of bad packaging. One size does not fit all!!
I must say I've never liked the Revell open end carton boxes, they suck. Totally weak, unstackable & unuseable, period, they're junk !!
Airfix's box suffers from the same one size fits all mentality, but at least they supply a good, sturdy, stackable, useable box.
And again all of the trees are "stuffed" into one bag. And not even a sealed bag, but just taped shut, and no shrink wrap either.
At first all looked good until I opened the bag and a couple (2) tiny pieces fell out. The top of one of the wings is pretty scratched up. there's another broken part, but I'm not finding the piece of it.
And the decal sheet is near destroyed !!
On with the pix.
