Hey Brian. Looking at the end detail you can see in the package, the wing I have appears to be the same. It has some light scuff marks but they would come out with some good plastic polish. There's two end plates molded in with faint lines. I outlined one with a Sharpie pen so you could see.

The wing measures 148 x 50mm

Thanks!
Jeff helped me find a Futaba radio and receiver for it, that was the last major thing needed, other than building a battery pack.

Just a small update here. Thanks to Nomadracer (Michael) and Makoman (Aaron), i got sub-c NiCads cells, shrink tubing, and labels to build a battery pack for my 12e. Michael also sent me battety bars, so i may just build it with those instead of braided strap. I still need to buy the proper Amp connector for the battery pack, and one for my charger.

I also, thanks to a tip from Jeff, picked up a radio and receiver for the car. The radio is missing the screws that hold the throttle control in, but otherwise seems to be in very nice shape.

And finally, thanks to a01butal (Al), I got the collars for the rear tubes.

These are the correct connector for this car.

I looked in my wire/connector box and don't have anything like that. Good luck finding one!
