Just started ship modelling again after a break of some years and bought an item off Ebay. It was advertised as Enterprise/Essex, box of bits, contents not checked. I thought it was worth a go and bid £3.00, winning the auction.
When the kit arrived it was in a Tamiya 1/350 Enterprise box. On checking the contents there were several sprues and flight deck sections for the Enterprise, plus WEM's photo etch set for the ship and a set of Gold Medal decals. The jewel in the box was a complete Trumpeter 1/350 USS Essex CV9! Checked it carefully and every part and sprue is there! Plus instructions!
Even better, I've sold the WEM and Gold Medal bits plus some sprues with the Enterprise aircraft on them, so I've come out way ahead!
Things don't get much better than that
