Is that a mint green 30c crane lurking under that red paint?
It might be time to start my "Bucket List."

Re: Recent additions
Spot on JP, had a few minutes to spare so tried a bit of nail polish remover and was pleasantly surprised. Model was in better condition than the standard one next to it in the picture. When I get some more time I will carry on but for now I am very happy. JTinman wrote:Is that a mint green 30c crane lurking under that red paint?

Re: Recent additions
It is great Jason.
Re: Recent additions
I saw one with much worse paint and the entire extension portion of the boom broken off and missing sell for 1,000.00 dollars (USD). So it certainly has some considerable value.

Well spotted Jason! You have the eyes of an eagle to notice that one spot.
Congratulations!
Just goes to show that it can pay off to look carefully at the play worn, overpainted lots.

Re: Recent additions
Thankyou for the comments, I actually looked at this lot before . It ended and got listed again, checking other pictures it was clear but the listing picture just gave a glimpse. This is a good upgrade as my other one is quite poor. I did have a better one but had to trade it for a model I had always wanted.
