The paint is not perfect, with various small chips, but looks very presentable from 10’.There are a few areas along the bottom of the doors, fenders and the sail panels that have noticeable small bubbles showing in the paint.I have tried to show a representation of them.

This is one of the few remaining original Tri-Carb 442’s in existence, and of them, only a handful with the optional OAI System (Track Pack) installed.
