Mechanic AH 579 Posted January 3, 2021 I didn't want to click on this thread, seeing that model number on the title. That was a great find and a steal @Dazibao. Congrats . But I am sad at the same time—it's like getting a whiff of something good yet it's something that I'll never be able grasp (ToT) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't even search for a 959 - I saw some pics online and here we are. Me and my brother we would look at Tower Hobbies catalogs my dad brought home and dream about these... Life was so much better before Internet and smartphones! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
