  4. Hey Matheus!

    Your return is the other good news!!! But this site is like an iceberg... You see only the emerged part, hahaha!!!
    In my quest for the diecast, my country is not the good one too... But little by little, the 1/64 reaches the few specialized stores... And eBay is my friend (but not from my banker).

    Thank you for the encouragements!!! It's so touching!

    See you soon buddy!
