I purchased this item about 30 years ago at a famous model shop in Ginza and have kept it stored in a cardboard box ever since. However, the outer box packaging is dented from the weight on top, the plastic window has fallen out, and there are yellowing stains inside the box. Therefore, I am offering it at a discounted price as a "defective" item. Since it is in a new, unopened condition, the vehicle itself appears to be clean (in my subjective opinion), but there may be dust and dirt due to aging. I have therefore listed it as having scratches and dirt. Please understand that this is a home-stored item, although it has been kept in a cool, dark place.
