A very nice find and it will look great on display. Lots of the other models seem to be good too, including a turquoise tipper. Are there any other little gems in there?

I spotted that one in the original picture and is one of the main reasons I bought them. It only has a few paint chips but otherwise is in good condition (if anyone needs this send me a PM). Still going through and cataloging them and finding some variations I need, but no other gems like the 57c! I'll post pictures of the all tomorrow.

Here are my latest finds today. This picture is the only picture the seller would send me.


Most are pretty play worn or missing parts, except the one I bought these for---the 30c in turquoise!!! It's in great shape with a few paint chips and still needs to be cleaned. Well worth the 5 hour round trip car ride and the $115.00 paid!


And a side by side with the green body.

You're on a roll Bill! that's a super looking model. Well done.

Thanks Ghosty and Johnboy! I most likely would have missed this, but thanks to this forum and some posts not long ago, I remember that this color is htf and there is no way I can afford a mint model. Just need to find the version without the brace now. I'm curious to the value of this, does anyone have a guess?

I would rate it as rare.

Congratulate Bill for this a good catch.

My first purchase in several months. I'm still waiting for it to be delivered and I'm hoping there are some hidden treasures in the bottom of the case.
