Notes
An exceptional collection of prototypes were purchased by ?The New European? Collector, largely originating from two well-documented sources i.e. the auction of the property of Marcel Van Cleemput at Sotheby?s Auction House in 1999 and the Losch Auction House in Germany during 2000.
This is part of lot number 2134 at Losch Auction House in 2000. Fully painted, white metal issue , this model (with some little adjustments) went into production in 1980. This prototype is finished in white and deep blue, with a complete and brightly-coloured paper label. Deep blue screen in the cockpit. Free-running small silver wheels on the undercarriage. Screw base.
Measures approx. 17cms.
Few little marks and some creasing/wear to the paper label.
