Thanks fellas,

John: Yes, I can tell the Wessex was a fine build... it looks like someone stepped on this one; kinda squashed from top to bottom, but there was extra detail added to the interior which has escaped damage.     I have a wrapped 1/72 Revell UH-34 in the stash that will get the interior.

9X19mm & Rich: The fact the seller listed them as "Bagged" and "Some Started" made bidders hesitant, I reckon, and no one challenged my $25 bid.       Sure opened my eyes because I'd never thought about doing searches for bagged kits.

After I finish the two 747 mirror dios I'm working on now, these will be this years' projects.

Take care,

Frank

Nice Frank!  That should keep you busy for a bit!  My latest ebay scores arent nearly as good Minicraft American Airlines 722 and a decal sheet for Cameroon 732.  Got my eye on a few things which hopefully stay in my price range.

Good score, Frank.  I have  a complete Revell UH-34, it's a nice kit.  Never cheap.

Came across a listing on ebay last week where the seller offered 15 various bagged kits, some started, for $24.45, shipping included, so I went for it.
