A Christmas cracker Lars. Unfortunately I don't have one of these little treats.
I agree, great ship.
Never owned one, will be intrested to see how many are out there!
I'm sure Andy will have a cracker?
(Sorry for the Christmas pun) :lol:

Happy to oblige with this one chaps but both my bombers have issues. The loose was a purchase from eBay France a few years back and has glued wings

The boxed came from the US and had been signed by Dave Prowse 'to Clint'

Unfortunately the bubble cracked in transit due to poor packaging but on a positive I got UKG to remove the signature

Did you know it was piloted by a snow trooper?

Thanks for posting your two, if anyone had one or two :D of these, you would.
You mentioned that UKG removed the signature that was on the packaging, I never knew they offered that service!
I've had a good look and can't see any pen marks, or impressions, I assume that he hadn't used a biro!

Cheers Mini, if you look top left of the ESB logo you can just make out an indented signature. It was written in silver sharpie which is apparently relatively easy to remove

Lucky it wasn't biro

I can see that now, I didn't look on the back!
Strange place to sign, but I suppose there's not a lot of places on the front.
Displays very nicely.

Excellent stuff, Andy! Well done for rescuing another thread that might otherwise have had no images posted to it.

Thanks for sharing :)

Also, the pen removal has been well done and certainly makes it look much better than it would with silver sharpie on it! Regarding biro, it can certainly be a bugger to remove, however I have had some success removing a small amount of biro from a cardback (removing the worst of it at least) by gently rubbing the area with a cotton bud dipped in surgical spirit:

Thanks andy for sharing this 2 beautiful Tie Bombers, always learning on this forum. I did not know the pilot was a snow troopers :shock:

Sorry to read it is glued but it is better than nothing and the box I am glad to read you got the signature removed :D but sorry again to read about the poor packing. Some people just don't care about the packing only the money :(

I'm very sorry to hear that! There's no good card for that to happen to, but I still hope it wasn't too valuable :-(

Quite a nice Han Hoth I own :(

Not too bad really but very annoying
