Hello, potential buyers,

This item, HA5121, is in a brand-new, unopened mint box. 

The item is packed with extra care.

Cheers

Also, you will be disappointed if you buy a blank Blue Angle and try to fasten the decals yourself. The decals on the numbered versions are painted on exactly, but applying stickers tends to be not so exact, it doesn't fit nicely over the grooves for the tail rudder, and looks like a sticker...not paint.
