Condition

Model Condition - Near Mint (9/10)

On close examination, the model is assessed to be in near mint condition. It should be noted, however, that on the topside of the wing, the grey paint displays very small speckles of raised paint. These minor imperfections are visible in the accompanying images and do not significantly detract from the overall presentation of the model.


Box condition - Very Good (7/10)

The box presents itself in very good overall condition. However, there are some drawbacks to note. There is a small tear located on the bottom tab, which slightly detracts from its appearance. Additionally, the front cover exhibits some flexing inwards, affecting the structural integrity. As a result, the box is unable to sit upright without additional support.


Photographed under studio lighting to highlight even the smallest imperfections. Buy with confidence, what you see is exactly what you get.

Any imperfections are shown in the images and description. Refer to the grading tab for more details. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
