This is an original Polar Lights C-57D plastic model from 2001. Box is free of shrink-wrap but is in excellent condition, as it is truly brand new, with only the slightest of pressure wear at the corners (see pictures). It is certainly collectible on its own. The contents are in their original packages unopened. A small box inside has a tape seal broken, but it is apparently due to age since none of the contents were ever opened. The entire package is complete, including the original instruction manual.
