HAVING HUNDREDS TO THOUSANDS OF MODEL CARS TO CHOOSE FROM, MOSTLY PORSCHE AND CORVETTES, I HAVE DECIDED TO START LISTING SOME OF THESE HERE ON E-BAY. 95% OF THESE ARE ONE-OF-A-KIND LISTINGS AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO SHOW YOU AN ARRAY OF PICTURES AND DESCRIBE THEM TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. THIS RARE TPS SPARKING MITSUBISHI "
ZERO FIGHTER
" (HEREAFTER SIMPLY REFERRED TO AS (ZERO) IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE!
THIS ZERO IS 100% ORIGINAL AND HAS BEEN USED (VERY LIGHTLY)
!!
THE ZERO ITSELF HAS A BRIGHT AND SHINY CHROME ORIGINA
L FINISH
... ON BOTH SIDES!
ALTHOUGH THIS ZERO IS NOT NOS (NEW OLD STOCK), IT IS STILL A VERY CLEAN EXAMPLE THEREOF. YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO LOCATE SOME FACTORY IMPERFECTIONS, AS THE QUALITY CONTROL OF YESTERDAY IS A FAR CRY FROM WHAT IT IS TODAY. ALTHOUGH I DID NOT NOTICE ANY, I FEEL COMPELLED TO TOSS THIS IN AS A DISCLAIMER!! FOR THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SOMEONE WHO WILL CRY ABOUT SOMETHING WHICH YOU AS A SELLER HAVE NO CONTROL OVER. HERE, LET ME CLEARLY STATE THAT I DO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NOS AND USED!
THIS ORIGINAL BOX IS INCLUDED AND HAS THE ORIGINAL DIE-CUT PROTECTIVE INSERT. THE ENTIRE BOX WITH INSERT LOOKS LIKE NOS (NEW OLD STOCK). IT HAS PERFORMED IT'S JOB WELL AS THE ZERO IS STILL IN SHOWCASE OVERALL CONDITION/SHAPE. ALL ORIGINAL EIGHT (8) STAPLES HOLD THIS BOX TOGETHER AND IN INSERT SIMPLY SLIDES INTO PLACE. YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THE BOX IS AND WAS NOT INTENDED FOR IMPORT OR INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTION.
I KNOW THIS IS A VERY RARE PLANE AND NOT TOO OFTEN LOCATED HERE ON EBAY OR ELSEWHERE FOR THAT MATTER! THIS MIGHT HAVE BEEN INTENDED FOR DOMESTIC SALE (IN JAPAN) ONLY!!
THIS IS A GREAT AND SIMPLE PLANE TO USE. YOU SIMPLY WIND IT UP AND PLACE IT DOWN ON ANY FIRM AND LEVER SURFACE. THE TWIN WHEELS DO PROPEL THIS ZERO ACROSS THE SURFACE AND THE MECHANICAL CLOCKWORK ALSO ALLOWS THE ORIGINAL FLINT TO "SPARK" FROM UNDER THE MACHINE GUN. THIS ACTION WORKS BETTER IN THIS ZERO THEN ANY OTHER "SPARKLING" FEATURE I HAVE SEEN IN OTHER MODELS TO INCLUDE SOME HIGH END GAMA TIN TANKS! THE OVERALL EFFECT IS COOL TO WATCH.
BY MY STANDARDS AND POLICIES, I VERY RARELY DO NOT TEST WHAT IT IS I AM OFFERING HERE ON E-BAY. AFTER ALL JUST HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO TEST A MODEL? ALL ONE NEED DO IS TO TOSS IN A FEW BATTERIES AND GIVE IT A GO! I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE SELLERS WHO WILL EVER SAY "THIS MODEL IS UNTESTED AND AS SUCH IT IS SOLD IN AS IS CONDITION" OR , "I HAVE NOT TESTED THE WIND-UP MECHANISM (CLOCK-WORK) AS I DO NOT HAVE A KEY, SO THIS WILL BE SOLD UNTESTED". THIS
TPS "ZERO"
MODEL PLANE IS FULLY TESTED (AND WORKS PERFECTLY) AND WILL BE FULLY TESTED ONCE MORE, JUST PRIOR TO SENDING IT OFF. I DO THIS TWICE, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THE FIRST TESTING WAS NOT A FLUKE! I AM SURE WE BOTH DO NOT WANT ANY ISSUES HERE AND THIS IS ONE EASY STEP TO AVOID ANY!
I TAKE PRIDE IN MY MODELS THAT I OFFER HERE IN THE E-BAY WORLD. I DO HAVE OPTIONS AND I CHOOSE TO OFFER ONLY THE VERY FINEST THAT I HAVE AVAILABLE. AS I MENTIONED ABOVE, I TEST EVERYTHING PRIOR TO LISTING IT AND ONCE AGAIN PRIOR TO SENDING THEM OFF. I DO THIS SO WE WILL BOTH BE VERY HAPPY WITH THE END RESULT, IT'S THE ONLY WAY I DO THINGS!
ONCE AGAIN, PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THESE PICTURES AS THEY DO BECOME A KEY PART OF MY DESCRIPTION AND DO A FAR BETTER JOB OF SHOWING YOU EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THAT YOU WILL BE RECEIVING FROM ME VS. MY WORDS HERE AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR DESIRE ADDITIONAL PICTURES, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME VIA E-BAY MESSAGING AND I WILL TAKE IT FROM THERE!
