F4E 'El Toro Bravo' 469 TFS 388 TFW Korat RTAFB 1960s 1:72**Used**
According to SCALEMATES & our own sales records- this is a re-issue of a 2011 edition. The box itself has a printed 2011 issue date but is stickered with a 'Made in Bangladesh' label which indicates a more recent production than 2011 [ they were made in China back in 2011 ]. It is unknown if anything was changed for this edition re: weapons etc as I don't have a 2011 issue to compare it with. This piece was issued in a 800 piece production run. Fascinating stuff !
The weapons were not sealed in the now familiar weapons pack under the flap, but came in a belt of plastic pouches taped to the underside of the plastic case. The weapons are complete & sound in our example, but some of the pouches have been opened. Yep, the model has been carefully handled but does not show any abuse.
