Nice, there is great stuff in that lot. I like those hobby shop swap meets. One near me always has a good selection of stuff.

A very close relative for sure.

Is that a recent find?

It's a 4.5 hr trek for me. With my luck there probably wouldn't be anything that catches my eye except some vintage dirt.
