One of the few i've seen with good tires.......
did you secure replacement tires from DM, or did you have another solution to keep the whitewalls from separating from the rest of the tires/

David. Good point...
It was photographed right out of the box, you can see the unpacking instructions in the photo.
Yes the original tires went south. DM did send me a new set. Over the years those have held up better, but looser than when new, and occasionally I rotate (spin them off of the base)
On the +++ side the paint is still PERFECT (:-) BUT one of the fog LED's decided to die. No - not a wire connection hmmm.
In any case this one will go to the Goodwill after I become dust. Son, as I've mentioned here, has no interest in "model cars" as he calls them. But this one I need to keep until...(;-) Awesome DM for sure.
Missed the 1/12th 65 Mustang dammnn. Marlowe took amazing pics of his, I then ordered the re-paint-well we all know what happened.

This is a great photo! I ordered the Poppy Red Mustang too. It would have been a perfect match...
... for my restored 1:1 I owned. I didn't need to 64 1/2 Mustangs so I considered selling my Wimbledon White version before the Poppy Red arrived. Fortunately, I decided to wait until the Poppy Red was received. I dodged a bullet on that one!
