Archive. Nicely painted model, with good
fit and finish. However, it makes one wonder why Corgi chose this
particular paint scheme for their first Thunderbold. Anyway, a real
problem with this particular edition was an inadequate stand that
allowed the model to fall,
nose first, off. I made a temporary
fix, and with the third version of the model, Corgi introduced
a stronger stand (which didn't fit the plastic vacuum rap and had
to be slipped under the rap in the factory). |
