John and Chav, let us know what you find when you get around to it. I hope yours are in good shape.

Will check it but it's going to be awhile, I am out of town for few days.

I believe that this condition is accelerated by storing the models in their boxes. I have over ....
250 FM and DM models and none of them exhibit this problem. And I have only 2 that have minor paint rash. I believe that the Zamac diecast metal needs to "breathe off" its gasses. All of my models come out of the boxes the day I receive them and go into my display curios immediately. My theory is that the metal needs to be in the open air to survive (or cure) to be stable, JMO!

May I contact you, Pete?
Hi Pete,
I'm sorry your model has these issues. Could I contact you directly? If so, what's the best way to reach you? I have a question for you about this model. Thank you.
Best,
Rich
