It has been driven a few times and stored for a long time, so the exterior is in good condition. There is a little rust in the photos, but it is very slight and in quite good condition. A beautiful masterpiece that can still be driven and displayed. <Important Notices to All> This model has been clear-coated by Aster Co., Ltd. from the beginning to prevent rust. It is in good condition. Therefore, before you run this model live, please remove this surface coating with thinner, etc., or be sure to completely remove the clear coating film that has peeled off after running with tweezers, etc. from the body. After making sure that the model has completely cooled down after running, wipe off the clear coating from the body completely with thinner, etc., polish it with metal polish (METAL POLISH: Pical, product name) or toothpaste, etc., and then finish it with car wax, etc., and store it. When doing so, wipe it thoroughly with a completely dry, soft cloth so that no white residue of polishing paste wax remains on the body. Also, some parts are painted gold instead of plated, so there is a possibility that these parts may peel off with thinner or oil, but please repair these parts with model paint before polishing them with wax. Brass lost wax parts will shine even more if you polish them with a special metal brush, available at model shops. Shipping Normal shipping (FedEX,Japan Post) will arrive in 7-14 days.
