Notes
This Gerry Anderson SPV model inspired by the t.v. series ‘Captain Scarlet & The Mysterons’ is in all original condition with no reproduced parts or repainting.
This early version has a very close to mint metallic blue finish, with original figure of Captain Scarlet and firing front rocket.
One side transfer has a little loss to the lower section and there is a very small nick to the front transfer. Barely a mark to the paint finish. White rubber tracks and both straight black aerials. Correct that this issue does not have a white cover on the roof button.
The brightly-coloured pictorial inner card plinth is an excellent backdrop for the model. Vivid fresh card has a small repaired wheel slot tear due to the weight of the model. Both pull tabs are firmly in place.
Original Instruction Leaflet.
Large pictorial outer box is bright, and complete, with a couple of end flap seam handling tears. Light wear besides.
