Genuinely wanted to buy this, but my last two purchases were full of smoke. In one once I removed it from the Styrofoam a wheel was missing. Please if I was wrong I want to make it right.

@geoff-jowett I had to look a couple of times as to how I worded it. Not seeing in any way of me being rude, nor bothersome. Oh well time to see if there's a way to block any contact...

...no question is "stupid" if YOU don't know the answer. Any GOOD seller whould understand this. Bottom line: Screw him! Look elsewhere.

Your questions were essential and the seller should never have the model shown in the styro and NOT out of it as well. Shame on him/her.

Ben, I feel your questions were absolutely legitimate. He doesn't seem to want to put much effort into making sure a customer is satisfied with the item. Remember, part of the fun is the hunt. You'll find ya one I'm sure.😉😊

My instinct is there is something wrong with the model and when it arrives at its final destination he will claim any fault or damage happened during its journey to the buyer. We have sellers like him over here, as well. Too many, actually.

I also asked for better/additional photos. All I received was a note to buy at a discount.
