hoi een geweldig mooi model in rood maar ook in het blauw

VERY IMPORTANT? THAT THE Sizing IS NOT GOOD!!!!! His height is 1 centimeter lower than it should be..... It is worth calculating: 78.5 mm x 18 = 1413 mm and in the description it is 1588 mm......

THE SCALE IS 1/20 NOT 1/18

This is 1/20 NO 1/18
