1/83 H196-98 Revell A3J Vigilante - 'S' Issue - A-5A Nuclear Bomber
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: NM
Rare model from 1959 and the last "S" kit issued by Revell. The box top is in investment-grade 'near mint' condition. It has fantastic color and gloss, four solid corners, no fading or stains and no price tags or tag marks. There is not any tape or tape residue on the two long sides, which is rare. Flaws include isolated very light shelf wear at the upper left and some very light edge wear on the vertical sides. 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 only recently: 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 and clear with the "Globe" clear stand. Never started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions.
