Look what we found hidden away...

When you run a business for 35+ years, sometimes things get hidden and/or misplaced. Take for instance this box of 36 Airfix F-84F Thunderstreak kits - they've been missing in action for years and magically appeared after rearranging some stuff. I think they make a nice addition to our Aircraft Closeout section!
