This continued for several issues and was finally discontinued although MPC continued to distribute Airfix and their own models. The kit has never been started. The parts that were factory sealed are still in the sealed bags. The parts that were not factory sealed (chrome and clear) have been inventoried complete including decals and instructions. The box displays better than the 'good+' grade but is rated as such because there is some missing lithograph along the lower edge of the box sies.
