Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: NM
$169
Includes the Profile Publications #213 Shiden/George in very good condition. Also includes about 28 color detail photos of of an actual surviving Shiden that the owner of this kit has access to.

As for the actual kit, the original owner kept the factory seal on the box by very carefully slitting it and taping it in place, making an amazing 'near mint' condition box. Very highly detailed, large scale model that features full engine including ignition wiring, detailed cockpit, opening canopy, full gun bays cannon, ammunition and removable access covers, rotating prop & wheels and much more. Includes a large decal sheet for at least 5 aircraft and includes a color painting guide on the front and back pages of the instructions. Never started.
