Scout II

Selection in the thrifty stores has been bleak lately. Prices are often the same or more than retail for goods that are quite often damaged or offbrand. Saw some graffiti in one Badwill bathroom that said "OK I got my lip pierced! Now I can work at Value Villians!" Imagine my surprise when this Scout kit jumped off the shelf at me! It was complete and unscathed, and you just don't see these too much in general. Years ago our Toyota Land Cruiser was stolen from the street in front of our Hollywood home in the seventies and we replaced it with a Scout I. My affection for Internationals is sentimental. This is a rudimentary kit, crude even, but it will build nicely into an offroad bruiser. MR. RED PRIMER
