1/96 H1800-198 Revell XSL-01 Manned Space Ship - 'S' Issue

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: VG

NOTE: ideal builder, missing (2) small parts and a section of railing; please read carefully for the condition. One of the 'Holy Grail' of 1950s Space Kits. 1957 first and only issue 'S' kit with the fantastic box art. Molds reportedly damaged beyond use, which makes reissues impossible. The spaceship was designed by the rocket scientist Ellwyn E. Angle of Systems Laboratories Inc. Features detailed manned top stage with full interior, removable top, opening hatch, spaceship and ground crew members and detailed working launch pad. The main stages and boosters snap apart to recreate all phases of the flight from Earth takeoff, Lunar Landing and Return to Earth. The included 'XSL-01 Operations Manual' outlines in words and illustrations each phase of the spaceship's trip. Molded in the correct gloss orange, silver, gloss metallic blue and clear. Never started. All internal factory cardboard presentation material is present and excellent. Inventoried and NOTE: missing 2 small parts: (1) #7 crew member (the other 2 are present) and (1) #41 small solar collector (the other one is present). There are no other missing parts. On one #50 walkway, one short section of railing is broken off; the stanchion (vertical post) is present but a 3/4" of top rail is missing. Otherwise inventoried with all other parts present. The decals are flat and 100% intact and in 'excellent++' condition with typical age yellowing as the only flaw. Instructions are complete but only 'good' and the Operations Manual booklet is 'excellent' with typical yellowing as the only flaw. Box is graded 'very good' and displays well but has some wear and creasing, mainly at the right center side. Color and gloss are excellent. There is no fading or stains, and no price tags or tag marks. There is no tape or tape marks beyond the original factory sealing tape. Flaws include two perfectly repaired corners (all done correctly from the inside), light creasing as shown on the right center box top and creasing on the left long side. Shipping insurance is required on this kit.
