This is the last building in K-Line's North Pole Village. I'm not yet sure if I'm going to crack open and build the kits in their "Town of Yuletide" set as I only have room for one, maybe two more buildings on the layout and may want to do something else.
Unlike the other Christmas Village stores from K-Line, this one was a fairly straightforward repop of Marx's original Super Market kit - at least in appearance. Only the colors were changed and holiday graphics supplied. What I really like about this kit is the option to place the original window displays (which have been painted up nicely by K-Line) in the windows or use the frosted acetate window inserts with holiday graphics. I chose the latter. Enjoy! Opa Fritz
The original window display castings are pre-painted in holiday colors
I didn't use the original window displays but rather applied the holiday stickers to the acetate inserts and used those instead. The strings of Christmas lights and "Merry Munchies" signs are printed on a heavy, adhesive backed plastic tape-like material.
The practice of pre-painting the trim on its buildings was a winner by K-Line in my book and was a notch above the original Marx offerings.
