Mr zfxr: if you are thinking ebay...nope...but same seller though...

200 Freak: Thats blood from my bleeding heart, as all of my girlfriends found out about each other and tore my heart out...

Nick: the models are both mint and Pac MIn does a good job of clearcoating...Ive yet to see any with cracked paint and that includes some old ones from the 70's..

and yes I had to have them!!

My pacmin Northwest Worldplane 1/100 is doing well so far.

Cant say the same for my Bader 1/100 models though. Hairline cracks are noticable in several areas.

One of my Baders a !/144 BA Concorde Dockside, the glue is all yellowing along the roof and tail...I paid big bucks for it, no replies to Bader other then mail it back...It would cost 95.00 to mail it back!
