I thought it would be fine, old crushed box but the plastic bag inside was still intact. What could go wrong? I opened the bag and most of it looked fine, like aged wine. Or maybe Joan Rivers with a face lift or two. I inspected the sprues and realized something was amiss. Inside was a mismatch of sprues from the WC-62 and the Willys jeep with no sprues for the advertised trailer. I'm thinking it was someone with access to a plastic bag sealing machine that just crammed as many sprues in as they could all those years ago.
I could post a bunch of photos but I always forget to stop at the appropriate spot and besides, really? If you have ever built an old Italeri kit than you know what this is like, good fit, lots of flash, a good bit of fudged or absent detail, what's not to love?
I decided to just build it without any aftermarket or worry about what was missing (other than a few missing parts that I had to fabricate).
Give me a few more days and I should have some photos up.
Cheers,
Rick
