My latest flea market find

I have never seen one of these. No clue if there was wiggle room on the price. The box had been opened, and someone started to paint and assemble it.

Thought it was pretty neat. If it was unopened, I might have considered it, but decided to pass. With my luck, I would have started to assemble it and would have found parts missing. Besides, I have too many irons in the fire as is!! Don’t need anything else to work on!

Very cool!

You should have offered him $10. I bet it's still there.

The worst they would have done was offer another price!

Haven't seen that one either. I've got this Johan '63 Starfire in my stack though...

I built the Starfire years ago. Pretty cool model.

Considering sealed kits ask for north of $150...

Saw an open box 62 all there sold for about 90 bucks on ebay.

If it was all there, even if painted, probably easy worth the 20. Although I'd offer 10 on the spot, you probably would be at home with it right now.

Yeah, opened kits can be risky. Smart choice to pass!
