I felt like I stepped into a time-machine when I opened-up the box of my 1/25 Tweety Pie that arrived on my doorstep today. It was like 1965(?), (was it 1965?), all over again! The parts are just as I remember; lots and lots of Chrome!
At first glance, the main frame has some pretty large sink-holes along it's sides, but they look to be easily filled and fixable. My memory tells me that my original kit from 1965 was the same way!
Strangely, my kit's plastic bags were all completely sealed, but the large bag containing the main, non-Chrome parts tree was missing one of the 4 brake drum pieces. Hmm, not sure what I'll do to correct that little issue.
I also got 2 of the plastic bags with the gas tank and cycle fenders inside; first time I ever got a kit with an extra parts tree inside of it!
The new instructions have a numerical-listing of every part inside the kit; I've never seen that before either!
Gotta break-out the putty and start filling those sink-holes on the frame!
