  1. mid 60s VW bus, white/beige patinated. VW emblem on front replaced by a peace sign. Original black CA plate: ODD 6xx. Very cool.

  14. The detail in the dioramas is incredible as well. The story of the builder and construction of the Alitalia plane delivering the Bertone Mustang is really interesting.
  15. Stock check at two Hobby Lobby stores. Nothing new, no purchases.
