Notes
Inspired by the Gerry Anderson’s t.v. series Captain Scarlet, this model has a deep metallic red finish, a white base and yellow interior. In all original condition, complete with intact aerial and perfect detailed labels on both doors.
Usual little rub to the nose and the occasional mere dot besides.
This is a particularly rare find in this export box – which comprises a tall, colourful card plinth (virtually pristine) and an intact card bubble top (save for a tiny cut on one side edge). Nice to see that this bubble top is clear and supple (so often these bubble tops can discolour and become very brittle).
