Hi Patrick

Thanks for the comment!

I am a collector of ESCI kits but in Italy nowdays it's impossible to find in a hobby shop an old kit. I bought all my kits on ebay or from a friend that had an old stock.Infact I was lucky to buy from him some kits that are very rare and too expensive on Ebay.

I take also kit not sealed or with some parts painted.These MB had wheels and dash painted and I stripped and repainted I found it in UK last year for abot 10 euro

It's a shame that Revell and Italeri have the old ESCI stamps and they don't reissue some nice kits like Lancia Beta,Toyota BJ,Golf Rallye.Mercedes Bandama and Dakar etc.Considering that they are near 30 years old they are today still nice kits with great subjects!
I think Tamiya Italeri Revell and Fujimi makes only no sense kits today
