#12-d Setra mini coach

Post by Sir_Matchbox_96 »

Hi all,
I got this Setra coach in my last lot and it seems that there is a part of the sprue in it. On the one hand I know it shouldn't be this difficult to open this coach at the rear but on the other hand...why should someone put a piece of clear plastic inside the bus?!

What do you think?

Greetings,
Linus

It does look like a rogue sprue Linus. That said, I have extracted all sorts of small things from models (balls of plasticine, small plastics parts from other toys, screws, matchsticks, etc. so nothing suprises me. :)

Thats it SMS88. Although I have a gold Setra in good condition, this one got a place in my showcase, too.

That sounds funny Mathias. I'am always a fan of oddities like that.
