A VERY RARE MODEL INDEED FLYING MULE COMMISSION LIMITED EDITION US33820 Republic P-47D Thunderbolt 'Donnie Boy' 2nd Lt. Dominic 'Don' Gentile VF-T USAAF 336th Fighter Squadron 4th Fighter Group RAF Debden 1943 Now an extremely rare model EXTREMELY RARE AND HIGHLY COLLECTABLE Cert No. 487 of 750 I have decided to trim down my collection a little and this very rare 1/72nd scale P-47 Thunderbolt will be of interest to many. It is a Flying Mule special commission and is one of just 750 models produced worldwide! This one has been carefully stored since purchase and has never been removed from the box. It has been inspected prior to listing to ensure it is in mint condition! PLEASE NOTE - The item that you are bidding for is absolutely Mint. It has never been taken out of its box, it has never been displayed, indeed it has not been touched by human hands since leaving the factory in China. This unusual and extremely beautiful LIMITED EDITION model is an absolute guarantee to increase in value and rarely comes up for sale! I must stress that this model is offered COMPLETE WITH THE LIMITED EDITION CERTIFICATE and is completely MINT. HIGHLY COLLECTABLE FULLY CERTIFICATED EXAMPLE! Please note that with a model of this rarity, I will inspect before dispatching. I have had a couple of bad dealings with rare models being switched and returned as damaged. If your intentions are dishonest, please do not take part in this auction. I would actually prefer the winning bidder to pick up the model in person, if at all possible, but if it is not, I will use either a Special Delivery service for UK Mainland, or Signed For service for international bidders. IMPORTANT SHIPPING NOTE! I cannot afford to offer free postage on my listings. I charge fair postage, using quality signed for and insured services. My models are in mint condition and I wrap them in bubble wrap, packing them in a bespoke cardboard box - these collectable items must arrive at your home in the same condition they left me! I do not charge for the box, or packing materials, but I will charge for the postage service I am forced to pay for. If you do not like paying for postage, or usually downgrade your feedback on postage costs, please do not bid on this item. Overseas postage is even more expensive - again, I use quality signed for and airmail services, which are not cheap. Overseas bidders, please e-mail for a shipping cost before bidding - please do not bid if you think I can send this model to Australia for £4.00! I am an honest seller and I would like honest collectors to bid on my items please - if in doubt, please contact me, or don't bid on my items! Good luck and . Please note the following terms and conditions relating to this auction: For UK Buyers I Accept PayPal, Postal Orders, and Personal Cheques, however PayPal is my preferred method of payment. Due to a couple of bad experiences, if you intend to pay by Cheque, please contact me on winning this item and be prepared to send payment as soon as practicable. I DO NOT THINK IT FAIR TO WAIT FOR 10 DAYS TO SEND PAYMENT! If paying by PayPal, I will try to send your item as soon as humanly possible and confirm I have done so by e-mail. For International Buyers I Accept PayPal ONLY - I DO NOT ACCEPT International Money Orders or International Cash - Please be aware of this and do not ask. Postage/Shipping is quoted for UK only - International buyers - please contact me, so that we can discuss an accurate price for your region. An Invoice will be sent to Winning Bidders; this again will highlight the modes of payment and also P&P. I will make two attempts to contact the Winner of the Auction over a 7 day period after the Auction has ended. If no contact is received then a non-paying bidder alert will be raised. Please ask any questions prior to bidding - I will be more than happy to h... read more
