Tin was sealed but a lot of rust once opened. Poster was pretty well ruined. The instructions were fused together and unusable. Decals had some mildew but wiped off. Not sure how good they'll be when applying. All of that said, the seller was responsive and offered to accept a return and issue a full refund. In the end we decided to keep it, since the actual model parts were undamaged and the price was the lowest we had found. This model purchase was always intended to be built.
