My wife and I scour second hand clothes stores (a local brand) regularly. About 90% of my clothes are from there, good value for the money.
We recently went to one of the stores and in the miscellaneous bin I found this Airfix kit. The price was weight based so I thought why not? With a pair of Disney toys I thought I could use for terrain the entire ordeal cost me about 8 euros.
As you can see the box was banged up, but I peeked inside one split corner and saw a nylon wrapper, so I had hope...
Et voilá! Everything is here and - which is the funniest part of all - in the original wrapper, undamaged. A 2010 issue Spitfire Mark Ia gift set. It even has the decals, paints and glue.
I don't do much aircraft modelling, but this very same Spitfire was one of the first models I built when I was little, so I might just complete it for nostalgia's sake.
