Re: Code 2s and MOY" First Series repainted in gold.

A few points spring to mind.What/who is CCI? That's the brief version? I have my own views on certain distasteful aspects around the production and distribution of these models but I don't think I'd air them here.More importantly, this post is Charlie trying to showcase models he loves and has take...
