    That's the same lack of careful packing that I've experienced from Amazon's model shipping. Looks like lots of pieces have been removed from the sprue in the picture. I sure hope that it is complete.

    I'm heading down to the NNL East shortly. Besides great models on the tables, I'm thinking that the vendors might have some items of interest. So what shows up today? My order from Hobby Search. LOL

    That Supra looks flawless. I look forward to seeing it in person next week.

    Thanks Ken. The artwork is good. But the artwork combined with a tin box is not enough to entice me into buying another.

    Would I be correct in assuming that the contents will be the same as those in this boxing? I have a couple of this version as well as an original.

    Another possibility with Tamiya acrylics, start with Hull Red XF-9 and adjust that to your liking. X-3 (Red) and X-9 (Brown) are gloss acrylic paints. A blend of these would require a dull coat. Tamiya XF paints are flat colours.

    I've been following F1 for almost 50 years. In most cases, recent F1 drivers' careers last until they reach their 30s, rarely their 40s Brad Pitt (ageism factor) as an F1 driver.... hahahaha!

    I have plenty of Tamiya tape. I'll try that first and then the"chemical" methods. Thanks.

    Thanks Elliot. I have no doubt that WD40, like Goo Gone, will remove any adhesive as well. I might be hoping for the impossible, but would like to minimize damage to the box top.

    I started with Les Budge's suggestion with a hairdryer. Thanks Les. Jim, I think I will also try your suggestion on an inconspicuous portion of the box lid. With the hairdryer method, the paper portion of the label came off, but not the adhesive. If the Goo Gone does not adversely affect the box top, I think I'll start by applying light amounts with a Q-Tip. Thanks for your suggestion.

    Paul welcome. Thank you for all of the great pics that you have posted in the short time since joining MCMF. As a person who has little to no experience building drag racers, I eagerly look forward to your posts.

    This Tamiya 1977 P34 arrived today. I had been doing reasonably well with Amazon purchases. This is how it was hand delivered to me. There was no plastic bag/envelope. They just stuck the shipping label right onto the box top! Grrrr... The saving grace is that the contents were still sealed and fine.You can see my initial attempt at trying to remove the label. Does anyone know of an easy way to remove what remains of the label. Comments/suggestions are welcome.

    I just received my first subscription issue (#226) today. I'm excited. Toronto, ON

    From a Tamiya. Fujimi, Hasegawa, Aoshima junkie, I can totally relate to this!
