Today after AMPS was time for the monthly visit to Andy’s. I picked up several paints for a few projects that I currently have going,,, and then I found this damaged box JGSDF LAV on the clearance table… all in all good stuff!

Her daughter (my wife) and I share the same birthday. She spent big money on my wife this year for her birthday. So she asked if I wouldn't mind just getting a small item. These decals are perfect for me.
