This 1981 copywrited model kit was produced by the REVELL Corporation of Venice, CA before the many makeovers & takeovers of the long & storied Revell model company's existence.

This kit is an original issue UNBUILT REVELL PLASTIC MODEL KIT. The photos should tell you the story. This was one of Revell's more popular Snap-Tite kits.

The condition of this kit is what I would consider EXCELLENT!! ALL THE PARTS I WOULD ASSUME TO BE PRESENT & ACCOUNTED AS THIS KIT IS STILL FACTORY SEALED BUT WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET!! NO GUARANTEES!!! I have included plenty of photos to give you an idea of what we are offering SO Please study them before making a decision. This kit could be a great builder project or just keep it an unbuilt collectors piece. This is a Great Classic REVELL kit & you don't find it on ebay very often!! This auction includes the original box TOP, BOTTOM & all the parts inside. The box is VERY square & brightly colored for it's age. OTHER THAN A SLICE IN THE CELLOPHANE ON THE LOWER TOP, IT LOOKS PERFECT after 40+ years of storage.  OVERALL A NICE & RARE MODEL KIT. THIS KIT HAS GREAT PHOTOS OF THE FINISHED PRODUCT !!! Here is a rare chance to score this GREAT REVELL MODEL kit. Don't let it get away!! This kit certainly has the potential to increase in value. I hardly ever see kits like this diminish in value over my years of collecting. Please ask questions if there is something that you cannot see something. THIS KIT MAKES A VERY NICE DISPLAY PIECE!!!

My reason for selling such a nice kit is that I have another one just like it & felt it was time to let another model freak like me enjoy one for themselves.

I am offering this as a"BUY IT NOW or Best Offer" Auction with a REALISTIC price.

THIS AUCTION IS FOR THE BOX & PARTS IN THE FORGROUND. NONE OF THE BOXES OR KITS THAT MAY BE PICTURED IN THE BACKGROUND ARE PART OF THIS SALE LOT. THEY ARE JUST THERE AS A REFERENCE & OR A  BACKDROP.
