**These kits were part of an impressive (and HUGE) personal collection acquired from an avid collector who also had a career in aviation. Most kits were open boxes with original sealed components. Unless they were completely factory sealed, the kits were opened to verify that all of the original contents were present. Once inspected and verified, the kits were shrink-wrapped in their original packaging. Unless specifically noted- all kits will be complete with instructions and decals. Some kits may have brand new resin kits, photo-etched kits, or decal upgrades packed inside the kit as well- as the original collector often purchased upgrades with the kits and it was easier to keep them with the kits they were made for. I hope you enjoy finding some awesome- and pricey- bonuses here and there! Please reach out immediately if you find any issues with a kit and I will do my best to resolve the issue. Thanks! Enjoy!
