Notes
This is the most sought-after 1st issue presented in the original and crisp and bright ‘S.H.A.D.O.’ pictorial card box with a very close to mint decorative inner card stand backdrop. Note that this plinth does not come with the additional card piece – it does not appear to have ever been issued with one, since the card slots into which it would fit have never been lifted. We suspect factory oversight.
Note this is the version without the ‘Warning notice’ printed on reverse of plinth.
Model is finished in metallic green with intact orange plastic legs, bright chrome and gold parts. Harder to find version with clear cockpit glass and a chrome interior.
Just minor tarnishing to some of the chrome parts (nearly always the case) and a minor mark or two besides.
Comes complete with the white and orange firing rocket.
The colourful, crisp and fresh card box has light wear and a very small seam tear to the internal end flaps. Period price on an end flap.
Comes with the model specific leaflet:
