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. This example has a little edge nick to one of the side transfers and a nick to the front transfer. Nice example with white rubber tracks and 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 couple of little slot tears due to the weight of the model. Small front edge crumple. Both pull tabs are firmly in place.
Original Instruction Leaflet included:
Large pictorial outer box is bright, clean and complete, with a tear to the little tuck-in section of both large end flaps. Light wear besides.
