Revell 1/83 A3J (A-5A) Vigilante Nuclear Bomber, H196-98 plastic model kit

1/83 H196-98 Revell A3J (A-5A) Vigilante Nuclear Bomber

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: NM+

An investment-grade example of the last "S" kit issued by Revell. The hardbox is dated 1959 and has perfect gloss and color. This box even missed the factory sealing tape, so there is no tape or tape marks. All four corners are solid and there is no fading, stains, creases, rips, tears or missing litho and no repairs. The only flaws are a tiny bit of corner & edge wear and two small and shawllow 'depressions' on the box top. They cannot be seen in the photos; you have to hold the box at just the right angle to see them. This model features opening tandem canopies, moving control surfaces, detailed, removable jet engines and two pilots. As the last "S" kit, this kit also incorporated a critical improvement for the time that would become standard by the 1990s: all recessed detail. The entire kit has recessed panel lines and rivet detail-no raised marks. It has an attention to detail that is lacking in many older Pre-S and S kits. Molded in the correct gloss light gray & clear with the clear Revell "Globe" Swivel Stand. Never started. All parts have been inventoried 100% complete. Includes decals and instructions in 'excellent+++' condition with very slight yellowing as the only flaw.
