Not another @*$'# SS2010 I hear you say! I ordered this T-Shirt edition this last Thursday from Japan and it arrived today (Wednesday). Now this T shirt edition is in deep storage with my Blue Bag edition. I feel greedy having two SS2010 in the house, or so the girlfriend keeps reminding me....'But it's a Scorcher...that's reason enough' is my reply.

I know these are designed to be opened but these kits have big issues with the blister packs. The clear blisters look like they are about to fall apart any second by coming unstuck from the backing. ..........This fault aside it's a lovely release and one of these days I will build one, after my other projects are done, by which time this kit will be vintage.

Yeah I noticed the blisters were dodgy at best .
The t-shirt does look nice though and go well with the kit.
Nice score Stephen.

cool,, the green blister packaging on mine had come away, and the blister on the other side had broken around the motor, was given some money back from the company i got it from, so now, suppose i will have to build it

2 sand scorchers, lucky, lucky! Build one of them at least, I'd love to see what design you would put on the shell!

Hi Connor. Thanks for your comment. Yes I do have holidays from work around June, so plenty of time then. I think this would be a likely time I say to myself 'do it, build it'
