A couple of minor marks and scrupulous examination finds a touch-in to one of the rear fins( possibly factory) and an extra sweep of lighter black alongside one of the side wings. A little lighter mark/touch-in on one side.
All functions operate well; chain cutter, rocket launcher and pulsating flame.
Inner card plinth is complete, with lots of atmospheric artwork. Barely any wear at all.

The Secret Instruction Packet has been opened carefully and inside are the Secret Instructions, cloth badge (so often missing), and 12 original missiles on the sprue. Extra Features Slip too.
