Complete with original string. A few small marks to the paint finish at the point where the ladders rest on the roof and a small mark or two besides. This item has barely seen the light of day.
This model comes complete with both packing rings, packing foam and Instruction Leaflet.

The pictorial card end flap box is clean, crisp and bright. Light wear only.
Not often seen in this condition, especially bearing in mind the weight of the model inside.
Desirable rare variant.
