Notes
Rare to come to the market place – this is only the second we have ever offered fro sale!
This set comprises:
1)* Corgi 1124 Launching Ramp for Corporal Missile*, in matt military green. With a few marks (where the missile attaches)
2) Corgi 1113 Corporal Guided Missile Erector Vehicle, in matt military green, with a movable boom which can elevate to vertical so that the missile can be lowered onto the launching pad. Spare wheel in place ? often missing. Few marks where metal meets metal. Missile would benefit from a Percussion Head replacement. Contact marks on the missile.
3) Corgi 1118 International Tow Truck. Military green finish, with a removable tin canopy. Few marks, mostly at front bumper. Original radial tyres run well.
Included is the* delicate lower card packing piece*.
Large and colourful pictorial, lift-off lid box is vibrantly-coloured and complete.
Three seam repairs to the lid (these are heavy models and the wear is not surprising). One side of the base is rather warped and there is a partial puncture on one side too. Wear and rubbing besides.
A very rare set.
