RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !
Engines in boxes Hmm, ETA 29, ED 2.46 racer, AMCO 3.5 (real and replica) GB1 (new but old) and every Saito I have ever owned except the 50 that was stolen (and I still have its box) all still stored in original boes or the a/c they are meant to power. And yes I am amazed by the original prices of our toys and more importantly the prices some are still fetching today. Mind you I have a number of "acquitions" that have come my way that were in various stages of assembly and not boxed.
All good grist for the mill.
