Lego 497 / 928 Galaxy Explorer 99% Complete Classic Space Ship Vintage 1978

This is the venerable classic spaceship LL928, sold under set 497 in USA and 928 in other markets.

Overall, the set is in really good condition considering it's 45 year age.

The LL928 ship is complete with all 7 rocket cones for engines, and all 5 landing struts on the bottom, all undamaged.  The grey pieces are all pretty evenly colored with only minimal shade variations, but barely noticeable. The blue pieces do have some color fade variations, but not bad once assembled.  All printed pieces are included - LL928 great (2x), Space logo pieces vary a bit but still visible (4x), white arrows good (2x), black vertical lines good (3x), control panels good (4x). The logos on the spacemans are pretty worn, but still there, they vary see pics. Chinstraps on all 4 helmets are NOT cracked. Both the moon plates and landing plate are included and in good condition. The moon plate has a few minor spots, see pics.

Missing/subbed:

1x 8 prong antenna that goes on the station.

1x grey air tanks that goes on the car.

Subbed 2x 6x1 trans yellow bricks - 1 was broken, was was solid yellow piece so I subbed in 2 each 2x1 and 4x1 trans yellow so the side windows in the ship are still complete. All other trans yellow pieces included as pictured.

Note, any other pieces not pictured are not included. I tried to account for everything originally included. Box/manual not included.
