Notes
Issued towards the end of the production run in this eye-catching bright metallic blue finish with a black roof, black rollers and base. An obviously unused example in very close to mint condition, complete and authentic throughout. Complete ‘SHADO 2’ labels on both sides. Bright silver firing mechanism. Inspired by the Gerry Anderson UFO t.v. series, this model has a flip over roof mechanism which reveals a formidable rocket just waiting to be fired! Complete with spare missile, too.
Occasional small mark and note the tracks in contact with the polystyrene inner for a prolonged time have become rather sticky now. Bright two-piece polystyrene packing has the expected marking due to contact with the model.
The window box with header card is complete and bright, if showing a little age/handling wear (mostly at an end flap edge). Intact original cellophane window. Unpunched header card.
