Notes
Later issues come to the market-place in the bubble pack style of packaging and then the window box but surely, this 1st issue in the all-card box with lots of colourful illustrations, has to be the best!
The most sought-after 1st issue is presented in the original ‘S.H.A.D.O.’ pictorial card box with a very close to mint decorative inner card stand backdrop and additional card piece.
Note this is the version without the ‘Warning notice’ printed on reverse of plinth.
Earliest issues did not have the Warning notice printed.
Model is finished in metallic green with intact red plastic legs, bright chrome and gold parts. With clear cockpit glass and a chrome interior. Scarce with a black front section too.
Very close to mint – couple of negligible marks if you hunt for them!
Comes complete with the white and orange firing rocket.
The colourfully illustrated card box is complete if showing some age /handlign wear now. One large end flap has been re-attached at some time and there are a couple of tape repairs to the internal end flaps at one end. Puncture to a large end flap has pressed back into place.
Comes with the model specific leaflet:
