China Southern B737-500 B-2548 by Gemini: COMPLETELY DESTROYED BY ZINC ROT PEST. I really can't do anything if not taking landing gears and engines as spare parts. A little jewel no more existing. R.I.P.

I have two of them. One displayed and the other one in it’s box. When I saw the one on display going apart, I thought I bring the other one. Just to find out that it had same issue.
