1/535 H301-198 Revell USS Missouri Battleship Narrow Box - First Issue Pre 'S' Kit
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG+
First release 1953 hardbox pre 'S' kit and the first ship model that Revell cut their own molds for. Earlier Revell ship releases were Ex-Gowland and Gowland molds for the small scale sailing ship series. It has been reported that this kit was so popular for so long that it was the best selling Revell ship model of all time. This box is in 'Very Good+' condition which is rare. Color is very good, all four corners are solid & original, there are no price tags or tag marks and no fading or creases. The main flaw is the tape pull visible just under turret #1. Beyond that the box does have general wear, especially on the edges. Inside, the kit is molded in the correct medium gray. Never started. Inventoried 100% complete including all parts, decals, flag sheet and instructions. The early style flag sheet is in 'very good+' condition and the instructions are the correct 'large format' ones for this issue and in 'very good++' condition with the typical age yellowing. Please note that Revell did not furnish decals with this issue.
