Space 1999 EAGLE FREIGHTER from Supermarionation Replica Collection, one of only 200 issued worldwide.
These rarely come for sale due to small number issued - 100 for sale in UK, 100 for rest of the world.
(An unboxed mint one was for sale at £3,499 some months ago)
Nearly 2 foot long (23") this detailed model is a faithful reproduction of the model used in the original series.
Presented in an acrylic display case.
Has chrome plated engine bells.
Etched Brass Plague with unique edition number. (still has peel-off cellophane on it)
Exclusive edition of only 200 worldwide. (this one numbered 105)
Model maker Ian Crichton.
Comes in it's original outer box as packed from new.
I have photographed the stages of unpacking to show this is as new as when purchased from a collector who kept it in it's packaging. I don't have the space to display this so it needs a new collector.
There is one flaw to point out which stops this being 100% mint, one bottom corner of the acrylic case has a short crack as shown in last photo. Crack is approx 2" long. This was there when I unpacked the box.
The model itself is mint as was not taken out of it's polystyrene packing base from previous owner.
I'm not sure if surface of pods has weathering effect or is an effect from storage. (see close-up photo of side pod).
I would sell for £2000 if the buyer would pick this up from me as I don't want the risk of damage from posting, especially with it having an acrylic display case, plus it would save me time finding and packing in a bigger box.
A lovely model for a true collector.
